Tel. Dorothy Thomson (01924) 274137

The celebrated author Charlotte Brontë was an intelligent woman of passionate intensity. Another, cast in the same mould, was her most famous fictional heroine, Jane Eyre. This is their story, told through the clothes they both wore.
Costume historian Gillian Stapleton recreates Jane’s charity-school uniform, her ‘best’ silver grey gown, and her ill-fated wedding dress, linking her extraordinary ‘autobiography’ with Charlotte Brontë’s own life history.

Book group

The self-titled Third Monday at 1 book group will meet at 1 p.m. Jan. 24 at the Crown Point Community Library, 214 S.
