The title page of "A Book of Rhymes," the last of the two dozen miniature books made by the young Charlotte Bronte in 1829, which recently resurfaced after nearly a century, at James Cummins Bookseller in New York, March 8, 2022. The book, containing perhaps the last unseen poems of the future author of "Jane Eyre" and offered for $1.25 million at the New York International Antiquarian Book Fair, has been purchased by a British charity and will be donated to the Bronte Parsonage Museum in the village of Haworth, England.
