In Search of the Brontë Stones | Literary Pilgrimage #4 | #Victober
Bookish Shenanigans 2020-10-10 | In which me and my family go on an adventure to find the Brontë stones. They were created in 2018 to celebrate the bicentenary of Emily's birth, and different writers were given the opportunity to write a poem about the legacy of the sisters. Haworth is such a magical place and it was wonderful to tread paths that would have been so familiar to the Brontë family. Have you ever been to Brontë country? I really hope that I can go back again. If you like this, then I have some other similar vlogs, my favourite being the Virginia Woolf one: youtube.com/watch?v=34aFZMzfj94&list=PLG8XCu8U5ue-3PCz46Nu2-VPfkmabgz3j Let's be friends on social media!
