Summary
 Haworth, December 1835 - Home of the Quintessential Women of Old Yorkshire. Charlotte Brontë became the eldest sister through circumstance, but it was a part she hoped to play to perfection by nurturing her teenage siblings, Emily, Anne, and Branwell. The family lived with their father, a clergyman, and their devoted aunt, who had come to look after them temporarily, when their mother died, and never left. Their loving home was the parsonage nestling beneath the brooding moors at the top of the cobbled hill in the village of Haworth. They spent their time helping to look after the house with Tabby, the beloved maid they had known most of their lives, and teaching in the schoolhouse. The rest of their days were spent walking the moors, writing, painting, and living in make-believe worlds they created from their own vibrant imaginations. When the family arrived, they were deemed outsiders and received a hostile reception. Fifteen years passed, and though their lives improved a little, Charlotte believed they should be accepted entirely, especially when her father had bestowed so much care and devotion on his flock. So, she hatched a secret plan, one she hoped would help the villagers see them in a totally different light.For this, she enlisted the help of Silas Brown, the son of the one family in the village they could truly call their friends. She and Silas had known each other since their school days, and he played a crucial role in her plan. Christmas was the familys favourite time of year, filled with festivities and traditions. But, as the unveiling of her plan drew near, Charlotte began to wonder if her idea was misplaced, fearing the villagers might not take too kindly to being misled. But sometimes, events are taken out of our hands, pushing us down a very different path, and we must accept the consequences whatever they may be. A Very Brontë Christmas is a fictional reflection of that time in their lives: A touching story of a loving, close-knit Yorkshire family who strove to be accepted into the place they made their home. This novella is a personal tribute from a writer who has lived nearby and trodden the same moors and cobbled streets, for more than fifty years. It is part of the Women of Old Yorkshire collection and perfect for fans of Dilly Court, Barbara Taylor Bradford, and Anne Marie Brear.©2026 Jo Priestley (P)2026 Eleanor Griffiths
