About this book

The Twelve Adventurers, and Other Stories, by Charlotte Brontë, is introduced as twelve fragments from the author's childhood. Arthur spends a wet afternoon alone in his room, toasting his feet at a bright fire and turning over views of the scenery around Verdopolis. Arthur's severe headache and the unfavourable weather leave him indisposed for serious study.

O’Donell receives locks of hair from little princes and promises to remember them and their warrior father even in death. O’Donell embraces the little princes and leaves them, perhaps for ever. A woman's dress is described as a white robe of the finest texture the Indian loom can produce, accompanied by a chain of emeralds and gold.

Charlotte Brontë (1816-1855) was an English novelist and the eldest of the three writing Brontë sisters of Yorkshire. Writing first under the male pen name Currer Bell, she drew on her own hard years as a governess and teacher to create heroines of unusual inner strength.
