Happy birthday, Charlotte Bronte!

Beautiful tribute just seen in today's Guardian:

joanne the illustrations are wonderful. Had to share one of my favorite movie scenes.

I fell in love with the book aged 9 years, and the first, classic movie shortly after. (Weren't  the old Saturday TV movie afternoons wonderful???) seen nearly every version since, I think I've missed the most recent. 

Did you read that they've just discovered a new manuscript book by Charlotte???

I haven't heard of the newly discovered manuscript. What's the deal???

I am sad to say I don't think anyone has ever made a really good movie of Jane Eyre. They all come off so Gothic and weird, and that has never been all the book had to say.

Wow!

I love old black and white films.

This is older than I realised - November last year.
