The literary talent of the creator of “Jane Eyre” awakened at an extremely early age—Charlotte Brontë wrote her first works at ten. Many of the writer’s juvenilia unfold in a fictional African colony of Witropól, founded by the Duke of Wellington himself. One sunny evening, a wealthy but childless landowner, Mr. Haslden, takes under his protection Edward Sidney—a newborn infant found on his land. Edward grows up noble, clever, and resolute, honoring Mr. Haslden as his own father. Only after the guardian’s death does Edward learn how he came to appear in his house. Deciding to unravel the mystery of his origins, the young man sets off for the distant African colony of Witropól…

This edition also includes two more novels by Charlotte Brontë—“The Green Little Man” and “The Secret.”
