📚
In the pages of a book so vast,
A child climbs, escaping fast,
But the phones, they reach, they try to pull,
The world of screens, relentless, full.
A hand extends, a silent plea,
To break free and just be free.
📚

The sight of her, a solitary figure strolling along the shore, her skirts billowing lightly in the breeze, took his breath away. The silhouette of Charlotte against the twinkling twilight was like a vision from a dream he dared not believe.

She made him feel safe.
He made her feel equal.
She made him feel hope.
He made her feel bold.
She made him feel honourable.
He made her feel respected.
And when their mouths married, they tasted forever.

Happy Birthday to #ElizabethGaskell, born on 29th September 1810. Gaskell wasn’t just a talented writer; she showed that women could be wives and mothers while challenging expectations, following their passions, and achieving their dreams. A true icon in every sense.

I heard someone from the music business saying they are no longer looking for talent, they want people with a certain look and a willingness to cooperate.
I thought, that's interesting, because I believe a total unwillingness to cooperate is what is necessary to be an artist.

Branwell #Brontë, the only Brontë brother, aspired to be a portrait artist. His 1834 self-portrait with his sisters was later altered, with his image removed. The surviving painting now serves as a poignant reminder of his artistic ambitions and sibling bond.

It's been a week, and I'm still on a high from volunteering with @BloodyScotland.
What a pleasure and privilege to hear from so many talented #crimefiction #authors and meeting readers from around the world.
A real literary treat.
I can't wait until next year.

What an exciting find in my local library!
Puts me in mind of @ak_benedict and @WHusseyAuthor.
A collection of international folklore and fairytales, reminding us that the love of the magical and mystical spans time and distance.
And what beautiful illustrations.

It was an honour to interview #AndrewDavies today. As part of the 250th anniversary of #JaneAusten, we explored his career bringing her works to the screen, and where he sees her legacy heading in the future.
If you couldn't make it, contact @ChawtonHouse to access the recording.

What a special pleasure and privilege to interview the master screenwriter, #AndrewDavies, with @ChawtonHouse. It was fascinating to explore his passion for adapting #JaneAusten for the screen and stage, and to hear that he still has many exciting projects on the go. Thanks, all!

The face you make when you hear THE Andrew Davies is 88 and is STILL working on MULTIPLE projects celebrating #JaneAusten!!!! 🤯
If you don't have a ticket for our talk tonight with
@ChawtonHouse, then you can donate the price of a ticket and catch up with the recording later.

#JaneEyre

A child in boots, so small, so free,
Watering flowers by the old oak tree.
The garden hums, the breeze is light,
A peaceful world in September's sight.
Simple moments, soft and sweet,
Where earth and dreams in nature meet.

"Every book, has a soul. The soul of the person who wrote it and of those who read it and lived and dreamed with it. Every time a book changes hands, every time someone runs his eyes down its pages, its spirit grows and strengthens."

Happy birthday to one of my favourite authors, Agatha Christie.
15 Sep, 1890–12 Jan, 1976,
What's your favourite Agatha Christie novel? 📚
And are you more of a Poirot or a Miss Marple fan?
