Page "Anne Brontë" Paragraph 15

The fantasy worlds and kingdoms gradually acquired the characteristics of real world — sovereigns, armies, heroes, outlaws, fugitives, inns, schools and publishers.

The characters and lands created by the children had newspapers, magazines and chronicles which were written in extremely tiny books, with writing so small it was difficult to read without a magnifying glass.

These creations and writings were an apprenticeship for their later, literary talents.
