The Little Books of the Little Brontës transports us back into time – to the 1800s that is. A breathtaking story of how the love of imagination, reading and telling stories is all a family truly needs. A must read story!
~ Momma Braga
Synopsis
Many years ago, the four motherless children of the Bronte 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.
