From Cathy and Heathcliff to Patrick Brontë and Aunt Branwell, this playing card deck features 54 of the Brontës' most memorable characters as well as family and friends.

Suits are themed on each sibling with hearts for Charlotte, clubs for Emily, diamonds for Anne, and spades for Branwell.

BEAUTIFULLY ILLUSTRATED by Eleanor Taylor, bestselling illustrator of The World of the Brontës and The World of Virginia Woolf.

ACCOMPANYING BOOKLET includes background about the Brontë sisters and their brother Branwell, their novels, and their most memorable characters, written by former Brontë Studies Editor-in-Chief, Amber M. Adams.

EASY HANDLING: The cards will not crack or bend when shuffled or flexed due to their weight. Held within a box, these cards are perfect for taking anywhere on the go.
