This is a blog about the Bronte Sisters, Charlotte, Emily and Anne. And their father Patrick, their mother Maria and their brother Branwell. About their pets, their friends, the parsonage (their house), Haworth the town in which they lived, the moors they loved so much, the Victorian era in which they lived.
The Edinburgh auction has now taken place and Charlotte Brontë's note (lot 141) has been sold for £24,000 (the estimate was £10,000-12,000).

Too bad the Parsonage was out bid...but you know things have a way of getting there eventually
