Jane Eyre - real and proposed covers
Tiny Bronte book fetches top price
The Young Men’s Magazine, Number 2, was written when Charlotte was 14 and is set in Glass Town, the earliest fictional world created by the Bronte siblings.
Sotheby’s had estimated it would sell for between 200,000 and 300,000 pounds at the English Literature, History, Children’s Books and Illustrations sale overnight.
But the manuscript sold for more than double the top estimate, setting new auction records for a manuscript by Charlotte Bronte and for a literary work by any of the Bronte sisters.
The book contains more than 4000 words on 19 pages, each measuring about 35mm by 61mm.
It is dated August 1830 - 17 years before Bronte wrote Jane Eyre - and is said to have never before been seen by scholars.
