The Telegraph reports that a new series based on
My Lady Jane by Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton and Jodi Meadows is due to air late next year and their subsequent book is mentioned as well.
My Lady Jane is based on a young adult fantasy novel and New York Times bestseller by Cynthia Hand, a US author, who said her aim was to “revise history”.
Hand has explained: “I’d always wanted to write a novel about Lady Jane Grey, who was a strong-willed, bookish teenage girl in 16th century England who had the misfortune to become queen, but only for nine days and then she had her head chopped off. [...]
The success of the novel in the US prompted Hand and her co-authors, Brodi Ashton and Jodi Meadows, to launch a series rewriting the stories of famous women, including Mary, Queen of Scots and Mary Shelley.
In My Plain Jane, they imagine that Jane Eyre was a real person and friend of Charlotte Brontë. (Anita Singh)
Cine Premiere (Mexico) features the
Letters Live show which includes a letter by Charlotte Brontë among many others.
The Eyre Buds podcast has a very Christmass-y episode for you.
