BARNSLEY author Nick Holland freely admits he is fascinated by the Bront‘ sisters.

And he’s now put pen to paper to tell the story of the lesser known sister, Anne, who wrote Agnes Grey and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall.

‘In Search of Anne Bront‘’ opens her up her private life and shows the true nature of her relationship with her sister Charlotte.

Nick, 44, of Sheffield Road, Birdwell, said:

“I’ve always loved the Bront‘ sisters since I went to university. I’ve read all their books several times and became fascinated by their lives - particularly Anne. She is the youngest sister and the one who is least known.

“There were not enough books about Anne and rather than waiting for one to come out, I decided to write one myself.”
