       The story of the famous and talented Brontё family is strange and
unusual.
       The Brontё children - five girls and a boy - lived with their father
and aunt in Yorkshire.
       All the children were in poor health. Two of the girls died while
they were still at school Bramwell, the boy, was good at writing poetry.
But he died at the age of 31. Anne, who wrote poetry and two novels, died
at 29.
       Emily, who became world famous as the author of «Wuthering
Heights», died a year after the book was published in 1847.
       Charlotte, the author of the wonderful novel «Jane Eyre», was the
only one strong enough to go out into the world and live her own life for a
while. But even she died at the early age of 39.
       It was nearly impossible to believe that these wonderful books were
written by young women who had not seen anything of the world except
the life of their own family.
       Nobody knew that the Brontё children had learned to write stories
while they were playing. They didn’t like to play noisy games. The game
they liked best of all was writing little stories of their own.
       All this was only found out in 1930 by an American university li-
brarian who studied some of the toys and hand-written little books found
in the house the Brontё family had lived.
