Bronte manuscript sells for 780,000 euros at Paris auction
A miniature book written by Charlotte Bronte while a teenager
was bought at auction in Paris on Monday for 780,000 euros ($862,446.00) by a museum in the United Kingdom whose bid was boosted by an appeal from British actress Judi Dench.
Bronte
wrote the unpublished manuscript, which is no larger than a matchbox, in 1830 at the age of 14. It was bought by the Bronte Parsonage Museum which is based at Bronte’s childhood home in Haworth, West Yorkshire.
