Leeds List has selected the Brontë Parsonage Museum as one of 'The Best Museums in Yorkshire'.
Brontë Parsonage Museum
Found at the top of Haworth’s cobbled streets, the Brontë Parsonage was home to one of the most famous families in Yorkshire. Still with its 19th century furnishings, it’s now a fully-fledged museum dedicated to the three sisters. Many of the rooms have been preserved, so you can see the desk they wrote their world famous novels at and get a feel for their day-to-day routines. Separate exhibition spaces house their diaries and other personal possessions. Keep an eye out for their ever-changing displays too, which give you a glimpse into what life was like in this secluded village in the Victorian era. (Emma Cooke)
Stuff (New Zealand) recommends 'The most intensely romantic shows and movies on Netflix right now', including
Jane Eyre
This smart and vivid 2011 updating of the classic 1847 gothic romantic drama by Charlotte Brontë features Australian actress Mia Wasikowska (Alice In Wonderland) as Jane and Michael Fassbender (X-Men) as the blighted Edward Rochester, the master of a spooky estate who will eventually be her love interest, but not without a world of trouble on the journey there.
It's a sprawling story that takes in Jane's tragic upbringing and casts her out into a world ridden with secrets, lies and, of course, the stuck-up manners and mores of 19th Century England. (Gary Steel)
Pointe Magazine is giving away a pair of tickets to see The Joffrey Ballet's take on Jane Eyre.
The Scarborough News mentions the fact that Filey has a blue plaque for Charlotte Brontë. The Tribune has an article on 'The Long History Of Hurricanes In The Bahamas', mentioning the fact that there was a mail boat named The Brontës. Yesterday AnneBrontë.org had a post 'In Memory Of Patrick Branwell Brontë'.

Finally, it seems as if The Eyre Guide got to experience  The 413 Project's Jane Eyre at the Grand Tea Room in Escondido thanks to our post about it. We are thrilled when this happens. There's a post about it, too.
