Description
Book Synopsis: A highly-illustrated retelling of the Brontë sisters' life in Haworth in the Yorkshire Dales told from Charlotte Brontë's point of view. Produced to coincide with the 200th anniversary of the birth of Charlotte Brontë, this book introduces the three extraordinary Brontë sisters: Charlotte, Emily and Anne. We also meet their brother Branwell. With a mix of strong storytelling and wonderful illustration, Mick Manning and Brita Granström relate the sisters' tragically short lives in the remote village of Haworth in the Yorkshire Dales. They explore how the girls were inspired to become writers and the sensation their books caused when people realized they had been written by women. Each of the sisters' greatest novels, Jane Eyre (Charlotte), The Tenant of Wildfell Hall (Anne) and Wuthering Heights (Emily), are simply retold in engaging comic-strip form. The illustrations and text of this book really capture the life of the children of the moors and how the magic and wildness of their surroundings inspired their work. It is perhaps not surprising as Mick Manning was born and brought up in Haworth and, as a child, even played a shepherd boy in a BBC adaptation of Wuthering Heights.
