18th November 2019I finally visited Haworth 4 years ago 43 years after I had first read 'Jane Eyre'. I'm still amazed that I stood in the house where the Brontes lived! Good luck with the crowdfunding and thank you!

18th November 2019These books belong where they were written, at the Parsonage Museum, a magical place full of creativity and history.

18th November 2019I think it's important that these beautiful little books stay at the Haworth Parsonage where they were written. Surely that's want the Bronte family would want. Good luck!
