This not not just "local news, for local people" :-) Charlotte Bronte's "A Book of Ryhmes" on the BBC:

Museum in Yorkshire has original 1829 copy of volume of poems that has now been reproduced.

The latest issues of the Fortean Times has a review of our edition of the letters from Robert Aickman to his agent, Kirby McCauley. Roger Luckhurst writes that the books is "strictly for completists", which is not unreasonable, although Aickman's views on books, films, etc, are fascinating. Luckhurst writes of Aickman's "snobbery about genre fiction and his sublime confidence in his own superiority", which is not an entirely unfair assessment, but I don't believe this is what "kept him a somewhat classic 'minor' author", as Luckhurst implies. Suggesting Aickman "scents money" when McCauley became Stephen King's agent is a little uncharitable, but, again, one can understand the interpretation. It seems fair to assume the reviewer is not an Aickman fan!

Charlotte Bronte's "A Book of Ryhmes" in The New York Times!

An anthology of her teenage poetry, published for the first time, shows ambition, even if the verse isn’t perfect.

A really positive review at Northern Soul by Desmond Bullen for "Fifty Forgotten Records": "there can surely be few more delightful ways to wile away one’s evening than in Russell’s welcoming company".

Aha! Patti Smith's Introduction to Charlotte Bronte's "A Book of Ryhmes", published in The Independent, can be read here:

The Independent newspaper has reprinted Patti Smith's Introduction to Charlotte Bronte's "A Book of Ryhmes", which we officially published yesterday, and have just launched at Haworth with the Bronte Society and the Parsonage Museum. We've had a great evening, hearing from Rebecca Yorke, Ann Dinsdale, Barbara Heritage and Ed Maggs. There was also a very good reading from "Spring: A Song" by Charlotte Bronte.

Okay, so it is a Bank Holiday, Easter Monday, and not the obvious day to publish a book. But it would also have been Charlotte Bronte's birthday, and what better day to publish the first ever edition of "A Book of Ryhmes". Her miniature book, created when she was only thirteen years old, is quite magical. (http://tartaruspress.com/bronte-a-book-of-ryhmes.html)
