Child's First Tales at the British Library

Via Cnet we have discovered a new British Library website where you can enjoy (well... enjoy is not really the word) a work by the Reverend William Carus Wilson:

The new site, called Discovering Children's Books, explores the history and diversity of children's books. It's full of stories, poems and original illustrations going back centuries.
Among the 100 treasures to be found  is a collection of short stories from around 1829 written by the Brontë sisters' headmaster. (Leslie Katz)

How did Child's First Tales by the Rvd Carus Wilson influence Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre?
In 1824–25 four of the Brontë sisters attended the Clergy Daughter's School. In 1825 Maria and Elizabeth Brontë died of tuberculosis whilst there. The two surviving sisters, Charlotte and Emily, were withdrawn. Charlotte always blamed the harsh conditions at Cowan Bridge for her sisters’ deaths. Perhaps as revenge she featured the school in her book Jane Eyre, thinly disguised as “Lowood”. She also based the dastardly headmaster Robert Brocklehurst on Carus Wilson. In the novel his threatening tales scare the poor girls so much that they're frightened to go to bed!
