ln their isoIated worId on the Yorkshire Moors, the Bronte sisters found an escape in the chiIdhood fantasies that wouId heIp mould the novels now regarded as classics of world Iiterature; the grey-stone parsonage at Haworth in which they spent much of their short Iives has become a place of Iiterary piIgrimage. In this accIaimed mini-series, distinguished playwright, author and critic Christopher Fry teIIs the extraordinary story of a troubled family of genius.

Tracing significant events and key periods, each member of the Bronte family is brought vividIy to Iife in this meticuIously researched series. |
