Book Overview
An NPR Best Book, New York Times bestselling author/illustrator Isabel Greenberg's Glass Town is a graphic novel about the Bront siblings and the strange and marvelous imaginary worlds they invented during their childhood. This original graphic novel encompasses the eccentric childhoods of the four Bront children--Charlotte, Branwell, Emily, and Anne. The story begins in 1825, with the deaths of Maria and Elizabeth, the eldest siblings. It is in response to this loss that the four remaining Bront children set pen to paper and created the fictional world that became known as Glass Town. This world and its cast of characters would come to be the Bront s' escape from the realities of their lives. Within Glass Town the siblings experienced love, friendship, war, triumph, and heartbreak.
Through a combination of quotes from the stories originally penned by the Bront s, biographical information about them, and Greenberg's vivid comic book illustrations, readers will find themselves enraptured by this fascinating imaginary world. "Engrossing for both adults and teens attracted to alt-history fantasy or the Bront s." --Library Journal (Starred Review) "Greenberg breathes life into the Bront s' unpublished early writings . . . Those who appreciate historical fiction and classic literature will be engrossed by this reimagining of the childhoods of these literary luminaries." --School Library Journal
