Gail at Original Content noticed that the Royal Mail has issued a series of stamps based on Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre.

Royal Mail chose illustrations by a famous artist, Paula Rego, specially for this issue because she also looked at the 'dark side' of the story.

There are six stamps to collect, plus a First Day Cover, Presentation Pack and stamp cards.

The location of the "real" Thornfield Hall from Jane Eyre was discussed here in Dec.
