The majority of pages are undamaged with some creasing or tearing, and pencil underlining of text, but this is minimal.

However, this book showed me the good elements, like their love of animals and the little things in life. This short book by a authority in the field, is an accurate, witty, enthralling addition to the ever growing industry of Brontë literacy criticism. We also get an interesting alternative view of the character of Anne, judging from her insistence on going to Scarborough, where of course she died. Sutherland also points out other oddities such as farmer Earnshaw's 60 mile journey to Liverpool on foot, and at harvest time.

Deshalb ist es besonders schade, dass Sutherland so ein paar kleine Dinge doch anscheinend noch nicht recherchiert hat, z. A poor condition book can still make a good reading copy but is generally not collectible unless the item is very scarce.

I did realise a lot of it was Sutherlands’s opinions and some of them to be honest were rather sexist but considering he was thinking in Victorian terms I will forgive him, just this once.
