Brontes Bicenntennial

2018 marks the 200th anniversary of Emily Bronte's birth.  The September issue of Victoria Magazine features a lovely photo spread of Haworth, the Bronte sisters' home. October's issues will have a story on Louisa May Alcott.  Charlotte's bicentennial has come, and Anne's is forthcoming.  


More to come, but I wanted everyone to see this magazine, given the chance.


Also, The Victorian Trading Company has many Jane Austen items, including socks, books, and games.  This is a fun catalog for anyone who loves things from the early 1900s and much earlier.


Happy reading; I'm leading the discussion on Wuthering Heights for AAUW in November; I'll keep you posted!
