Product Information

In addition to contacting libraries and archives, Alexander traced old sales catalogues and "travelled all over the United States and Canada on a Greyhound bus, knocking on doors of private collectors, eventually finding more than 100 unpublished Charlotte Bronte manuscripts and an equal number of unknown drawings and paintings by the Brontes".

An exquisitely crafted weaving of the real and imagined lives of the Brontës, Greenberg digs deep into Brontë juvenilia to fully submerge the reader in the chaotic and confusing world of Glass Town. There is an extremely physical feeling to Isabelle Greenburg’s art in “Glass Town: The Imaginary World of the Brontës.

Glass Town by Isabel Greenberg is available in hard back and Kindle editions, and is published by Jonathan Cape on 6 th February. This incredible tale of survival and bravery in the face of overwhelming evil happened to a literal child. Appearing in just a single Angrian tale, Henry Hastings (1839), she is independent and earns her own living.If you want an in depth look at the large and varied juvenile output of the Brontës I would always recommend Nicola Friar’s remarkable blog on that matter – but this serves as a fascinating introduction to what can be a complex subject. Glass Town asks us which is more real, our day to day lives, or the words we speak and the ideas we conjure up?

My debut novel, A Tale of Two Glass Towns, is available in paperback, as an ebook, and on Kindle Unlimited. A devastated Charlotte later chose to resurrect her heroine in what must be another of literature’s earliest examples of retcon.Branwell was at the centre of this universe, often dictating the events of the saga or writing long parliamentary speeches and war epics". Ashantees -The Ashantees were originally wooden ninepins who represented Native Africans and were the enemies of the Young Men in the Brontës’ earliest tales. This original graphic novel encompasses the eccentric childhoods of the four Brontë children—Charlotte, Branwell, Emily, and Anne. Warner is an upright and hard-working ally of Zamorna and the head of one of Angria’s most important and influential families. As stated above, Anne and Emily broke away to form their own world of Gondal with Charlotte and Branwell developing Glass Town and moving towards Angria.

k.a Duchess of Zamorna, Queen of Angria – Mary Henrietta Percy is Zamorna’s third wife and mother of his children, legitimate daughter of Alexander Percy, sister to Edward and Sir William Percy, and half-sister to Caroline Vernon. Four children: Charlotte, Branwell, Emily and Anne have invented a world so real and vivid that they can step right into it. Her drawings are harsh and deliberately untidy, channeling the frantic, awkward passion of a precocious child.

He also desires and lusts after Percy’s two daughters, Mary Percy (who is also the wife of his enemy and adopted brother, Zamorna), and Caroline Vernon. I’d particularly love to see her get her hands on the likes of the Angrian stories Henry Hastings (1839) and Caroline Vernon (1839) as well as the above mentioned Glass Town tale Strange Events. A few months back a very interesting looking book caught my eye due to some intriguing and exciting snippets that I spotted doing the rounds on Twitter. She resides at Rivaulx in the Hawkescliffe estate, seemingly living to serve Zamorna, and at one point in the stories chooses to follow him into exile.
