Tea with Jane Austen by Kim Wilson

Tea with Jane Austen is an interesting concept book: it discusses Jane Austen's life and world with well-researched detail. The focus of this slim volume is the British tradition of tea time, and particularly Jane Austen's love of tea.

Full of interesting facts (such as the dark side of the tea-trade) and strange old recipes, Tea with Jane Austen is a book with a very specific appeal. If you like Jane Austen and the history of the regency period, you may find this book very interesting. If such historical anecdotes do not interest you, this book may not be your cup of...well, you know.
