![]() ![]() I had been so desperate to read it following that first tantalising glimpse and I was lucky enough to be kindly provided with a review copy by the publisher in the UK, Jonathan Cape. The book in question is Glass Town by Isabel Greenberg, a title which promises to introduce readers to the Brontës’ worlds of Glass Town, Angria, and Gondal, as well as providing the biographical background which led to the creation of these worlds and characters such as Zamorna, Mary Percy, the Earl of Northangerland, and Glass Town gossip and celebrated author, Charles Wellesley. Pretty much anything connected with the Brontë juvenilia will get my attention but this interaction between creator and character in the form of a graphic novel was especially exciting. ![]() One of the snippets was an illustration of Charlotte Brontë’s adored hero from her worlds of Glass Town and Angria, the Duke of Zamorna, invading the real world in order to entice his creator to return to the paracosm she’d initially created along with her siblings in 1826. 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. ![]()
