His father was kidnapped and became a slave. Pat's dad survived, married and Patrick was born. He had 9 younger siblings. He lived in a two-roomed cottage and from these humble origins became an amazing teacher then won a scholarship to Cambridge graduating with honours.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA priest in the Church of England, Brontë fathered six children, three of whom--Charlotte, Emily and Anne--became famous novelists. Their novels remain hugely popular today.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBut Patrick copped a bad press. He asked the novelist Elizabeth Gaskell to write a biography about his daughter Charlotte. In her book, Mrs Gaskell gave Patrick a hard time. So hard that critics inferred he was 'a cassocked savage' and 'a mad dog who should be shot'. Really?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBiographers and publishers pushed the Gaskell line. Patrick's evil reputation was set in cemetery stone. But not any more.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNow his life-story can be revealed. And what a story. The redhead from County Down led an amazing life. He was a poet, novelist, hero and way ahead of his time. He gave his children a fabulous education with giant dollops of love. He inspired them to write. He was a fierce advocate for health, education and social reform. And he loved dogs!
