In 1834, Charlotte Brontë and her brother Branwell created the imaginary kingdom
of Angria in a series of tiny handmade books. Continuing their saga some years
later, the five 'novelettes' in this volume were written by Charlotte when she
was in her early twenties, and depict a aristocratic beau monde in witty, racy
and ironic language. She creates an exotic, scandalous atmosphere of intrigue
and destructive passions, with a cast ranging from the ageing rake
Northangerland and his Byronic son-in-law Zamorna, King of Angria, to Mary
Percy, Zamorna's lovesick wife, and Charles Townshend, the cynical, gossipy
narrator. Together the tales provide a fascinating glimpse into the mind and
creative processes of the young writer who was to become one of the world's
great novelists.
