Huddersfield Literature Festival 2020

With details of plans for HLF 2020:




Help bring Charlotte's little book home

Urgent appeal:  Charlotte's little book is being auctioned in Paris next week! 

On 18 November, a tiny manuscript by Charlotte Brontë will be sold at auction in Paris. The little book, dated 19 August 1830 and no bigger than a matchbox, is packed with stories and advertisements written in Charlotte's own hand. The Brontë Society is keen to bring it home to the Parsonage, where it will be enjoyed by visitors and explored by scholars – and shared with Brontë enthusiasts around the world for generations to come.

You can help the Brontë Society to bring Charlotte's book home to Haworth by donating at: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/bring-charlottes-little-book-home
