Two books by Paul Chrystal with lots of Brontë connections:

Yorkshire Literary Landscapes
by Paul Chrystal
Destinworld Publishing Ltd (28 Feb. 2018)
ISBN-13: 978-1999717575

Yorkshire Literary Landscapes celebrates the lives and works of writers and authors who have been influenced by the towns and countryside of Yorkshire.
Many of these authors were born and lived in the county, and Yorkshire informed their work; others visited to research novels which were set there. In either case, the individual landscapes had a profound influence on the writing of these authors, which is evident in their work.
Authors such as the Brontës, Alan Bennett, Ted Hughes, J. B. Priestley, Susan Hill, Charles Dickens, Bram Stoker, James Herriot and Elizabeth Gaskell would all find fascinating insight and inspiration from the urban and rural landscapes of Yorkshire, as well as its history and people.
This book, by renowned Yorkshire writer and historian Paul Chrystal, looks at the lives and works of these authors and many more, describing the Yorkshire landscapes and locations which coloured and influenced their writing and characters, and which can still be visited today.
Includes historic photographs and illustrations.
Perfect for anyone with a love of Yorkshire's history and its varied landscape, whether a tourist or resident in the county.

Haworth Timelines
by Paul Chrystal
Destinworld Publishing Ltd (28 Jun. 2018)
ISBN-13: 978-1999717513

Step back to the time of the Brontë sisters and see what life was like in the Yorkshire village of Haworth in this new local history book.
This book is sure to fascinate anyone with an interest in Haworth, the Brontës and their time living there.
At that time, Haworth was a thriving industrial town in the unlikely rural position among the Yorkshire Dales and hills near Bradford. Whilst still an agricultural community, the town now enjoys tourism and the outdoor life.
This book, by renowned Yorkshire writer and historian Paul Chrystal, looks at the history of Haworth from its early days, through to the present. It uses archive photographs and images to show what the streets, houses and people looked like in different time periods, including the various locations associated with the Brontës.
