Description

A miniature book of poems written by a 13-year-old Charlotte Bronte is unveiled in New York after more than a century hidden away. Smaller than a playing card, the 15-page manuscript dated 1829 is a collection of ten unpublished poems. It is up for sale at the New York International Antiquarian Book Fair, with an asking price of $1.25 million. The fair opened Thursday and runs until Sunday. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
