| book description |

Although the story of the BrontÃ« sisters Charlotte, Emily and Anne has been told many times, their birthplace and first home is less well known. This book is a photographic exploration of the house where the BrontÃ« sisters were born and the surrounding area on the edge of Bradford where the family lived for five of their happiest years. In 1815 Patrick BrontÃ« became vicar of St Jamesâ€™s Church in Thornton, in the West Riding of Yorkshire, and he and his wife moved into the parsonage in Market Street, Thornton. It was in this house that the three sisters Charlotte, Emily and Anne whose genius has left an enduring literacy legacy, were born and spent their formative years. Today the BrontÃ« Birthplace has been preserved for the community and photographer Mark Davis created a superb photographic record of the house and the area around Thornton and Bradford. This is a record the birthplace of dreams, a literary shrine of the humble beginnings of genius, of three writers who created stories that still resonate today.
