Image description

The 15 page hand-sewn booklet in brown paper wrappers is mostly written in minute characters, in imitation of print. It contains an elaborately laid out title page which is also intended to mimic that of a printed book. The story contains Charlotte’s earliest known poem, ‘In this fairy land of light’. Poetry features a lot in Charlotte’s juvenile writings; however, once she became a published author she largely abandoned it in favour of prose fiction.
