			'''Charlotte Bronte''' (April 21, 1816 – March 31, 1855) wrote stories and poems about an imaginary country named Angria, with her brother Branwell. From a list that Charlotte Bronte made which was recorded in Elizabeth Gaskell's biography, we know that by August 1830, she had written 22 "volumes" - small books in minute script.

			Elizabeth Gaskell writes:
