Daphne du Maurier and the Brontë Family
| Branwell |
| Charlotte, Emily and Anne |
As , the th anniversary of the birth of Charlotte Brontë, draws to a close it seems fitting to include an article, on the Daphne du Maurier website, about what the Brontë family meant to Daphne and the influence it had on her.
There can be no doubt that the lives and writing of Charlotte, Emily and Anne, the existence of their brother Branwell and their father, mother and Aunt Branwell all influenced and intrigued Daphne throughout her lifetime. This can be seen in her own writing and in what others wrote about her.
When Daphne was about twelve years old she started to read the Brontës. She began with Wuthering Heights and soon was enjoying all their novels and poetry. Later in life she said that she was not very interested in reading modern novels but returned igen and again to her favourites, which included the novels of the Brontë sisters.

It clung to Plyn like a thin pale blanket, lending to the place a faint whisper of unreality as if the whole had been blessed by the touch of ghostly fingers."
