In 1847, Charlotte Brontë and her sister
Anne both published their first novels. The
following year, their sister Emily also
published a first novel. Charlotte's novel,
Jane Eyre, was one of the best-sellers of
1847. Emily's novel, Wuthering Heights,
was disliked at first but later became highly
respected. Annes's first novel did not sell
well, but her second novel did. How did
three sisters from the same family all
become published writers? Their childhood might have had something to do with it.
When Charlotte and Emily were young girls, they made up stories about an
imaginary land called Angria. They filled notebooks with stories about Angria. When
Anne was old enough, she joined in. It could be that their early years helped the
girls to develop their creativity and storytelling abilities.
