The Brontes
Jun 1, 200824mFeaturing a Yorkshire special at Haworth. One of my favourite set of authors, and an intriguing story where great novels rose from the ashes of family, personal and local tragedies. To stand at Top Withens and imagine how the landscape and moors stimulated and influenced the minds of such a sisterhood; was a bucket list program for me. To sit in Branwell's chair at the pub, visit the old apothecary, stand in the Bronte kitchen in the old rectory... I hope this video will stand the test of time and prove popular with all Bronte fans and readers.
