The Little Books of the Little Brontës by Sara O'Leary
5.0
Thank you to Tundra Books for sending me this ARC. All reviews are honest reflections of my own opinions, always.
In a little house, on a wind swept moor, lived the Bronte children.
Sadness had touched their home, leaving empty spaces and empty chairs, but the Bronte siblings still had one another. Four of them, Charlotte, Emily, Ann, and their brother Branwell. Together they created stories and worlds, and on the desolate moors they found companionship not only with one another, but with the people and adventures they made up.
This little book gives a beautiful overview of the lives of these four children, and the sisters who would change the world of literature and the course of book history. Paired with charming illustrations, the book details mainly the childhood of the Brontes, touching briefly on their all to short adulthood.
I enjoyed the bit of history given at the back of the book, including a very helpful timeline. There's also a cute little section on how to create your own little book, just as the Bronte children had done.
Absolutely recommend to readers both young & young at heart, especially as an introduction the great names that have invented and inspired stories for generations.
