  • Classic Blurb - Jane Eyre
    Those famous books everyone's supposed to have read? Don't worry, you're not the only dumdum pretending you actually have. We're exposing our sizeable literary knowledge gaps in this weeks "Classic Blurb" instalment. We take on the celebrated classic Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë, thanks to Mr Luke Brown for the recommendation. None of us have read it, but we're making up for it in style by creating our own, probably fairly similar, story. It's all about a cigarette empire, right?
