In the local book shop the other day and I came across this book I thought all you ladies would be interested. I have never been a big fan of the #Brontes sister's but I know a lot of you are.
Life, Letter's, diaries and writing.

@Book_Fiend_Melissa ! Thank you so much for this beautiful handmade Christmas card and the adorable Brontë sisters bookmarks. I don‘t know, but you seem to know me well. ??

Lots of love and Happy Holidays to you, sweet friend! ??

vivastory Do you have the Penguin Clothbound Classics Brontë set? 4y
LeahBergen @vivastory I don‘t! Do you? I have a bit of a mishmash of all the Brontë novels. 4y

#NewYearNewYou Day 22: Fats‘ review: “The language used was simple, with a slightly bigger font, but the story of the Brontë family is darker and more complicated than that. While I‘ve only read Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë, it was definitely fascinating to see how a writer‘s life heavily influenced his/her writing.” #SoulSisters Full review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-dfb

Eggs Great choice for the prompt 👏🏻 5y

Pickpick

I‘ve been fascinated by the Bronte sisters, after reading some of their novels. This book is a very readable biography of the sisters, told in clear prose and included some archived pictures. It captures pretty well the life and times of the Bronte family. However I find it not detailed enough to be deemed as a biography. I‘m not in favour of the author including a summary of each novel written by the sisters in here. It acts as a spoiler. 👇

erzascarletbookgasm ..(cont.) I guess this book serves as a good introduction or companion to younger readers who are not yet familiar with the Bronte‘s works. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5y
Sarah83 Maybe interesting for you @LeahBergen @rubyslippersreads ? 😍😘 5y
LeahBergen @Sarah83 I‘ve seen this one around before! 👍🏻 5y

Ha! Interesting oddity of literary history.

LeahBergen So weird! 😆 5y
merelybookish I don't know why but I kind of love that CB didn't like JA. 5y
Heideschrampf And it does make sense. JA would never have written a Rochester or a Heathcliff. JA is like Led Zeppelin, CB is more Nirvana. Both rock. 5y

Perhaps no famous literary family has been as written about as the Bronte #siblings - Anne, Emily, Charlotte and Branwell.

rubyslippersreads So many gorgeous books! I have the Brontë letters, but I still want Jane‘s. ? 6y
Aimeesue @Sarah83 I was just thinking ‘Wow, she‘s got some newer Austen Folios,‘ because mine are the 1961-ish Folios. @LeahBergen ‘s are prettier than mine. 😂 (edited) 6y
batsy What a collection 😍😍 6y
Lcsmcat Beautiful editions! 6y
ScientistSam Please! 6y
tpixie Beautiful!!! ♥️🧡♥️ 6y
LeahBergen @Sarah83 I do! I love the wood engraving illustrations by Joan Hassall in these editions so much. 😍 6y
LeahBergen @rubyslippersreads I think it‘s a necessity for your Austen shelves. 😆 6y
LeahBergen @Aimeesue Yours are the green bindings, aren‘t they? I believe they‘re identical inside to these late 1990s ones I have (that‘s when I started buying these 😆). I prefer these editions illustrated by Joan Hassall to the newer Folio ones. Shhh! 🤫 6y
RohitSawant Stunning editions! 💕 6y
Sarah83 I received one book of this collection with the Jane Austen swap. It is so gorgeous. 😍 6y
youneverarrived Beautiful 😍 6y
Sarah83 @Aimeesue that's sometimes the problem. Folio publishes some books so often, you don't know which edition you should buy 😍😍😍😍 6y
Aimeesue @LeahBergen Mine are a bluish green. The spines look greenish, I think, when they fade, but the covers are definitely blue. They do have the Hassell illustrations, though, which are gorgeous. Did they change the illustrations in the newer versions? Whatever for? 6y
Melissa_J Lovely editions 🥰 6y
LeahBergen @rohit-sawant Thanks! They‘re some of my faves. ❤️ 6y
LeahBergen @youneverarrived Thank you! 😘 6y
LeahBergen @Sarah83 Do you like these editions or do you prefer the illustrations in the new editions? 6y
LeahBergen @Aimeesue Ah, yes! I think I‘ve only seen the faded spines before. They‘re so pretty! And yes, check out the Folio site to look inside the new editions. The illustrations are a tad mod and dreamy for my liking (let me know what you think 🤫). They also released an Austen set in 2006 that‘s a wee bit ... twee, maybe? 😆 And, hey .... I‘m usually a big lover of twee-ness. 😆 6y
Sarah83 I am not really certain. I love the old ones so much. I love drawings which seams like the painter used coal for it. 😍 But the new ones are also wonderful. Can I take both? Which do you prefer? 6y
BiblioLitten Those beauties!! 😍😍😍 6y
