Novelist Brontë (4)
I believe the answer is:
anne
'novelist bronte' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for anne that I've seen before include "Queen in 1702-14" , "Name of dead queen!" , "Henry VIII's fourth wife" , "- of Green Gables (children's classic)" , "British queen" .)
