Brontë Family Facts

On this date, in 1848, Patrick Branwell, the least well known Brontë, died.  Patrick Branwell was born on June 26, 1817. Known as Branwell, he was a painter, writer and casual worker. He became addicted to alcohol and laudanum and died at Haworth at the age of 31.

I thought it was an appropriate date on which to share an article I read in The Telegraph entitled “11 things you didn't know about the Brontës”:  http://www.telegraph.co.uk/books/authors/11-things-you-didnt-know-about-the-brontes/. 

And for some fun, why not try a quiz to determine which Brontë sibling you would be: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/books/authors/quiz-which-bronte-are-you/.  Apparently, I would be Anne, the least famous of the sisters.
