Показать описание
The Bronte Society has purchased an "extraordinary" book written by one of the famed literary siblings at auction for just over £511,000.
The book, by a teenage Charlotte Bronte, went under the hammer at the Drouot auction house in Paris, fetching 600,000 euros (£511,885) plus auction costs.
Charlotte, the oldest of the three sisters, wrote this in 1830 - 17 years before she wrote her greatest work, Jane Eyre.
One of her "little books" was hand-written when she was 14 and five others are known to have survived.
