A book written by Charlotte Bronte at the age of 14 will return home after being bought by the Bronte Society at auction in Paris.
The miniature work, called The Young Men's Magazine, will go to the Parsonage Museum in the Brontes' old home in Haworth, West Yorkshire.
It was bought for €600,000 (£512,970) after a fundraising campaign by the Bronte Society, which runs the museum.
