'Still so relatable': Lucy Powrie, how teenage discovery of the Brontës fostered career in literature
Lucy Powrie was 15 when she read Agnes Grey. Ten years on she is chair of the Brontë Parsonage Museum.
Lucy Powrie was 15 years old when she first read Anne Brontë's 1847 novel Agnes Grey and instantly, intensely, fell in love.
Powrie is still only 25. In October she was appointed the chair of the Brontë Parsonage Museum at the family's former home in Haworth, making her the youngest leader of one of the oldest literary societies in the world.

'What do Saudi developers know of Heathcliff?' Bronte country up in arms over windfarm plan.
Mooted project in West Yorkshire could cause 'heartbreaking' disruption for wildlife and harm local tourist industry, say critics.
It would include up to 65 turbines, each rising up to 200 metres, 40 metres taller than Blackpool Tower.
Yet local opposition is building against the project.

The ruins are by the proposed site on Walshaw Moor where Calderdale Council are considering a planning application for a 65 turbine windfarm.

Frances O'Connor: 'I'm putting Emily BrontÎ in the centre of her own story'
The actor turned writer-director, Frances O'Connor, is taking an unconventional approach to her feature film about the Wuthering Heights author, a passion project giving a romantic side to the supposed recluse.
Frances O'Connor was a 15-year-old pupil at an all-girls Catholic school when she first read Wuthering Heights on the hour-long bus journey to and from her home in the hills outside Perth, Western Australia.
Forty years later, she has brought those sense memories to a story about the novel's author Emily BrontÎ, in a directorial debut that she expects to enrage some purists while hoping it will inspire a new generation of young women as the novel once inspired her.

Photographer captures images of waves breaking underwater, Australia - Jun 2010
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Alex Tipple/Solent / Rex Features ( 1206453x )
Surf's Up For Underwater Snapper
A photographer spent months being battered by the sea as he captured the moments waves broke underwater.
Alex Tipple took the stunning shots of swimmers and surfers emerging underwater engulfed in clouds of whitewater while being frequently rocked by the waves himself.
The 29 year old captures the split second moments off the Australian coast and regularly gets beaten in the head by his 5kg, specially adapted camera for his troubles.
Alex, from Sydney, Australia, came up with the idea of photographing waves underwater after becoming frustrated with 'normal' surf photography, and wanted to capture the moments from a different perspective.
He said: "During a flat spell in Sydney I shot a few small waves with people swimming off to the side.
"The results were pretty graphic and led to people swimming becoming the focus of the series, which was against my initial intention but looked great.
"Most of the people I photograph are just enjoying themselves at the beach and I ask them if they'd mind being in a picture.
"I tell them what I'm doing and show them a few photos and mostly they're amazed.
"Most of the time I come off worse than the people I'm shooting, generally I'm looking sidewards to track where they are in relation to where the wave is, and tend to pay more attention to them than the wave; which can rock me pretty hard.
"I'm pretty comfortable underwater from years of surfing, and can ride out the waves breaking overhead.
"Most of the credit has to be paid to the camera though, I'd be lying if I didn't say that most of the time I hold the shutter down and point in the general direction of the people.
"The housing is about the size of a shoebox, and weighs about 5 kilograms, heavy enough to hurt when it hits me in the head.
