The answer must be sent to our e-mail address: bronteblog (AT) gmail (DOT) com (read that aloud if that doesn't look like an e-mail address to you). Answers will be accepted until Sunday April 29 (12 am CET). Winners will be notified by e-mail on the ensuing days. We will accept ONE ANSWER ONLY per participant.

Good luck!

Apart from a BIG THANK YOU to the staff at Twentieth Century Fox, we would also like to thank Mags from Austenblog and Austenblog reader Melissa for enquiring whether we already knew about this release.

Note : The answer to the question of our last contest (a copy of Janet Gezari's Last Things. The Poems of Emily Brontë): How many copies were sold of the Poems by Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell when it was first published in 1846? was (regrettably) only TWO.
