A Brontë Sisters Christmas - Wild December, Top Withens
From an original cute paper collage by Amanda White
The remote and windswept farmhouse known as Top Withens stands high on the moors above Haworth, some three miles from the village home of the Brontë sisters.
Popular belief has it that this was the setting for Emily Brontë's depiction of the Earnshaw family home Wuthering Heights, in her powerfu, groundbreaking novel of the same name, but nobody can say for certain.
Top Withens continues to attract visitors, artists and, perhaps, the ghosts which are such a disturbing presence in Wuthering Heights.
The question is, is this particular Christmas visitor, gliding through the moorland sheep and snowdrifts, the ghost of Catherine Earnshaw or that of her creator, Emily Brontë?
