My Review
In this book, the author envisages the Brontë siblings as children. They live in a world of magic, where they can time travel, and they embark on a quest. They find a key that will reveal the secrets of the past and they become the guardians of those secrets. Oh, and they talk to mice.
It’s exactly the kind of book I would have loved as a child (I was a huge fan of Alan Garner’s Weirdstone of Brisingamen in which two children realise that they hold the key to the magic that binds them). It’s set in Alderley Edge, which is a real place like Haworth in Enchanted Chronicles. And yes I’ve been to visit the setting of Weirdstone – I haven’t been to Haworth – yet.
The children are of course the four Brontës – Anne, Emily, Charlotte and Branwell. (There were actually six but Maria and Elizabeth died in childhood.) Charlotte and Emily are the best known, having written Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights respectively. I love Wuthering Heights best of all – I became a bit disillusioned with Jane Eyre after studying Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys for my OU degree which looks at Bertha before she was locked in a room by Mr Rochester. But that’s another story!
It was strange reading about ‘real’ children in this book – I’m not sure that poet and artist Branwell was very nice as an adult – but I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt. I love to think that Emily would have loved this book – only a child with such a vivid imagination would have grown up to write Wuthering Heights.
Many thanks to @ZooloosBT for inviting me to be part of this blog tour.
