Description:

Charlotte and Anne Brontë, the famous novelists, loved the seaside. This illustrated book is an account of their various visits, which spanned fourteen years, to Scarborough, Bridlington, Filey and Hornsea on the Yorkshire Coast. Anne begged to be taken to her beloved Scarborough when she realised she was dying and she is buried above the town in St Mary's Churchyard. As well as visiting Haworth in West Yorkshire, many Bronte fans make pilgrimages to Anne's grave (see cover). Charlotte walked the magnificent cliffs and sweeping bays of the coast in sadness when all her siblings had died and she worked on her later novels by the seaside.In Agnes Grey by Anne the town A..... referred to is Scarborough and in Villette by Charlotte the town of Bretton is based on Bridlington. Six walks in the footsteps of the famous novelists are included, complete with maps.
