For some time she studied with her elder sisters in the charitable School in Kowan-Bridge. After the return back to Howert, the novelist never left the lovely village.
   The talent for writing was discovered in the girl in her childhood. After learning to read and to write, Emily Bronte started to writer down short stories and verses.
