A Collection, a Contest and a Doll

Brontë contests, books and eBay auctions. All of them, this October:

Books

RBA Editores releases in Spain a collection of novels under the title: Grandes Escritoras (Great Women Writers).

The first in the series is Wuthering Heights with a foreword by Carmen Posadas. The seventh will be Jane Eyre (foreword by Rosa Regàs) and the twenty-fourth, Charlotte Brontë's first novel The Professor (foreword by Nora Catelli).

By the way, the pdf with the complete information of the collection mistakes Charlotte Brontë's image at the Pillar Portrait with Emily Brontë.
