    Great post, Terry. My favourite is Yorkshire lass, Emily Bronte. I'm guessing that sibling rivalry would have been pretty fierce.

    Loved Dante's hating on Dan Brown. Actually all of them were hilarious.

      That would be nice, wouldn't it - someone else suggested that, but copyright for pics would be a problem!
