Inside a small Yorkshire parsonage, Charlotte, Branwell, Emily, and
Anne Brontë have invented a game called Glass Town, where their toy
soldiers fight Napoleon and no one dies. This make-believe land
helps the four escape from a harsh reality: Charlotte and Emily are
being sent away to a dangerous boarding school, a school they might
not return from. But on this Beastliest Day, the day Anne and
Branwell walk their sisters to the train station, something
incredible happens: the train whisks them all away to a real Glass
Town, and the children trade the moors for a wonderland all their
own.
