One of those days when newswires are full of unconnected Brontë mentions.
First of all,
News-Register look at Barbara Bannister's books and life, and they comment on the book she read when she was a child:
She grew up in Nebraska, the daughter of two avid readers. She eagerly read everything she could find: the "Anne of Green Gables" series, "Jane Eyre," "Little Women" and "Little Men," "Tom Sawyer" and "The Boxcar Children" when it was serialized in a magazine. We are starting to notice that Jane Eyre is the backbone of many writers. There's a hint for young people who would like to become authors one day :)
On a very different - and sadder - note,
TMCnet relates the tragedy of Bob Appleyard, who has recently written a book called No Coward Sould, borrowing this line from Emily's famous poem.
And finally the
Charlotte Observer (ha!) publishes the story of how the
bedbooks that we talked about a few months ago came to be invented. Wuthering Heights collectors out there, you know there's a copy of the book in this collection. Now, where's Jane Eyre and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall and all the rest of them?
