The manuscript book of verse was composed by Charlotte Brontë in the autumn of 1829. It was known to her biographer, Mrs. Gaskell, and had last been sighted in 1916. Readers of the Endless Bookshelf will recall the reappearance of the manuscript at the New York Book Fair on 21 April 2022, and its sale to the UK charity, Friends of National Libraries for donation to the Brontë Parsonage Museum in Haworth. And now everyone can read Charlotte’s Ryhmes.
