Bront¨e, Anne (1820–49) Anne was the youngest sister of Charlotte. Her mother died on 15 September 1821, so Anne was brought up and at first educated mainly by her aunt Elizabeth Branwell at Haworth Parsonage. She was the playmate of Emily, and with her created the exotic, imaginary land of Gondal. From October 1835 she attended Margaret Wooler’s school at Roe Head, until an acute illness accompanied by a spiritual crisis in December 1836 necessitated her return to Haworth. She may have returned to school for a further year.
