Brontë Power

In case you haven't see this funny Youtube video on the Brontë Sisters. . . (my computer does not want to cooperate with the umlaut but will allow me to cut and paste it)

For information on the Brontës and related Society, there is a comprehensive website.
If you are not in a Gothic mood, I also recommend The Return of the Twelves, a novel about the wooden soldiers given to Branwell Brontë, which he and his sisters Charlotte, Emily, and Anne played with and wrote stories about the kingdoms of Angria and Gondal.

    Also try THE DARK QUEARTET by Lynne Reid Bankes. I liked it best of all the Bronte books I've read.

    I love the premise of The Return of the Twelves. I want to thank Deb for her recommendation of The Dark Quartet--sounds great.
