Description
Drawing on the vivid detail in the seven completed novels of the three Brontë sisters—Charlotte, Emily, and Anne—the ingenious quizzes and puzzles in this fun collection will test your memory. Even the illustrations, by Edmund Dulac, require you to recognise the characters they depict.
All the answers are to be found in the pages of Anne's Agnes Grey or The Tenant of Wildfell Hall; Emily's Wuthering Heights; or Charlotte's Jane Eyre, Shirley, Villette, or The Professor.
The quizzes will test your recall of clothes, colours, relations, occupations, cookery, villages, seasons, dates, Christmas, interiors, and flowers, while the name games require names of characters to be given to reveal a final name.
Each crossword puzzle relies on quotations from one of the novels, while the wordsearch puzzles are on the themes of pets, pupils, servants, and houses.
All the answers are given at the back of the book, but elusive answers may encourage you to reread the novels, which will reveal the wealth of quiet detail that builds to give solidity to the hauntingly imaginative worlds of these remarkable sisters.
