I think that I've heard of the biography, but have never read it! I think that it would be a really interesting read, as they were friends. I'd love to try and read some more of Elizabeth Gaskell's work - I remember that I enjoyed watching the adaptation of 'Wives and Daughters' but have yet to read the book! So much literature to look forward to!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10823380524430366584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5716845090581301522.post-81648080922661058792012-08-06T14:03:56.563+01:002012-08-06T14:03:56.563+01:00I watched North and South again last night, as it ...I watched North and South again last night, as it had been quite a while since I had watched it for the first time. It made me think of your web page! I am staring the book today! Have you ever read Elizabeth Gaskell's biography of Charlotte Brontë? I have a book by Gaskell called "Gothic Tales" but have only read a little so far.Melody K.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5716845090581301522.post-2898372280071349972012-07-16T13:36:26.091+01:002012-07-16T13:36:26.091+01:00I hope that you enjoy it!I hope that you enjoy it!Vintage Winniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10823380524430366584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5716845090581301522.post-48085658446799944332012-07-11T20:31:54.494+01:002012-07-11T20:31:54.494+01:00Wonderful!

Pride and Prejudice is so good, it is practically engrained in me from my youth.

I had read it before the BBC adaptation and was so excited when I heard that they were making it, as I'd read the book in two days - I just couldn't put it down! I love all of the Jane Austen books, especially 'Persuasion' and 'Pride and Prejudice'. Charlotte Brontë's 'Jane Eyre'too. Also. Miss Read's 'Mrs. Pringle' - it's one of a collection of books set in the beautiful country village of Fairacre. It's very witty and the characters are so well written too, a lovely light read - I've read it every Winter for years now!Vintage Winniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10823380524430366584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5716845090581301522.post-45267650131456526802012-07-09T15:01:06.621+01:002012-07-09T15:01:06.621+01:00So sassy!

I did watch the bbc show, although I couldn't get past thinking of Richard Armitag as Guy of Gisborne, from Robin Hood!
