Selina Busch was one of the guides on the 2003 Brontë Society Excursion and for that event she assembled a number of photographs of old Brussels, especially of the Isabella Quarter in which the Pensionnat Heger once stood. Many people encouraged her to continue this work and to publish an album. With the help of the Daphne Carrick Scholarship, awarded by the Brontë Society, she has been able to produce this present volume.There are over 130 photographs and maps. These are organised into chapters as follows. Chapter One contains photographs of the Pensionnat and its garden. Chapter Two is devoted to the Rue d’Isabelle and the Rue Terarcken, the immediate neighbourhood of the school. These are streets that Charlotte and Emily would have walked along almost every day. Chapter Three takes us a little further away with pictures of the Isabella Quarter of Brussels. In Chapter Four we have pictures of the park and the royal quarter. In Chapter Five we have the churches that Charlotte would have known. Chapter Six is of other streets and sights. Chapter Seven gives some panoramas of the city, and some maps. In Chapter Eight, we haveSelina Busch was one of the guides on the 2003 Brontë Selina Busch was one of the guides on the 2003 Brontë.
