A few words about the book from Peter Underwood - Life President of the Ghost Club Societ.
Here indeed is a very strange world, the hitherto virtually unkown world of the Brontes. Charlotte who used to talk about 'a voice of wild and wailin music, coming into her mind; Emily who had a 'strong faith in ghosts'; and Anne whose novels contain violence and sexual passion thought unseemly in Victorian England. No wonder the writings of the Bronte sisters belong to the literature of feeling.
I have always found Haworth Parsonage to be an inhospitable-looking place, even today and even in summertime; one shudders to think what it must have been like to the Bronte family.
