In a Twisted Way

More on the Tour de Yorkshire through Haworth:

A torrential morning downpour had threatened to wash out the Tour de Yorkshire’s visit to Brontë land but the flags were dry by the time the riders arrived in Haworth where hundreds of people lined Bridgehouse Lane and Main Street. (The Telegraph & Argus)

 Sunday's final stage took the riders on a 167km (104 mile) route from Wakefield in West Yorkshire to Barnsley in South Yorkshire and back through Brontë country in the Pennines before a finish in front of thousands of spectators in Roundhay Park, Leeds. (BBC News)

Backofthebook vindicates Anne of the Green Gables:

My mother, a high school English teacher, was slow to warm to Anne, too. But my aunt’s view had prevailed by the time she compiled her pioneering textbook in 1973 with the pulsating title, Canadian Literature, Two Centuries in Prose. Believe it or not, this was the first book designed to introduce high school and college students to our own country’s literature in one distinct volume. And she did not hesitate to include an excerpt from Anne of Green Gables, defending it as far more than a “children’s classic,” with its universal Cinderella theme (Jane Eyre, Pygmalion) and particularly Canadian motif of nostalgia for a world of peace and protection.
