The inspiring true tale of young siblings who loved to make stories --
and grew up to be among English literature's finest writers. A picture
book for fans of Mary Who Wrote Frankenstein.
Many years ago, the four motherless children of the Brontë family --
Charlotte, Branwell, Emily and Anne -- lived in a windswept house by the
moors with their father. Although their lives were often filled with
sadness and their world was only as large as the distance they could
walk, their INNER worlds were bound only by their imaginations. Hungry
for stories, these children devoured novels and poetry, history and
fables. And with the gift of a group of toy soldiers, they were inspired
to make their own stories, and their own tiny books . . . a passion that
would last them a lifetime.
A moving and atmospheric story about the power of imagination, the joy
of storytelling and the love of books, The Little Books of the Little
Brontës will enchant both those who love these literary sisters and
those who are learning about them for the first time. Includes an
author's note, timeline of the Brontës' lives and a fun craft with
instructions on creating your own little book.
