“This book is a gentle introduction to the Brontës with the most beautiful, cosy illustrations.” Yorkshire Life “Beautifully illustrated. Highly recommended for key stage 2.” The School Librarian “Charming, tender, evocative.” Juno Magazine Many years ago, the four children of the Brontë family – Charlotte, Branwell, Emily and Anne – lived in a windswept house by the Yorkshire moors with their father. Although their lives were often filled with sadness and their world was only as large as the distance they could walk, their inner worlds were bound only by their imaginations. Hungry for stories, these children devoured novels and poetry, history and fables. And with the gift of a group of toy soldiers, they were inspired to make their own tiny books ... a passion that would last them a lifetime.

This giftable picture book booklovers young and old includes step-by-step instructions for readers to make their own little book, perfect for imaginative children who love crafting and telling their own stories.
