![]() Rather it is a book that confronts and, in most cases, dispels the 'myths' surrounding the Brontes. However, this well researched book is not an actual biography. ‘Miller unravels the Brontë myth with tenacity, detail and grace - from souvenir tea towels and Haworth Parsonage mugs to Hollywood visions of wind-swept moors.

What would Frederick Law Olmsted (1822–1903) make of his works today, in the bicentennial year of his birth? No doubt he would be delighted by the survival and continued popularity of so many of his big-city parks, particularly Central Park and Prospect Park, but also parks in Boston, Chicago, and Montreal, as well as Buffalo, Detroit, Rochester, and Louisville. ![]() ![]() ![]() Those residents include sheriff Ed Harris, whose unhinged delivery of the line "Everybody is insane, everywhere!" is the highlight of the film corrupt official J.T.
