awhile in teatimes from another era?


 Then you must order
And Then It Was Teatime!

   Tea has had its part to play in stories other than its own! Authors have long seen fit to place their characters and their action in the midst of the tea hour.

   And still others have written in private diaries and memoirs of the hour that "by the resistless effort of its own virtue, can cheer the whole land from palace to cottage."

   With vintage inspired graphics and over 150 passages from vintage and modern literature, And Then It Was Teatime takes you into the drawing rooms, parlors, and gardens of characters you might have long forgotten about or might not ever have had the chance to become acquainted with. And all are waiting for you…with cup in hand.

 

...take an enjoyable walk across the sundry scenes of teatime depicted
in some of the much celebrated works of English literature. Through the common flair of this universal drink, the author connects her readers to
the history of ideas and the view and norms of our past. A remarkable job
of its own kind! Laurie Nienhaus’ book renovates the passion for two fine things in its readers: a nice cup of tea and fine literature.     

 Ernest Dempsey is the pen name of Karim Khan. A founding
member of the World Audience Inc. (New York), Dempsey is
the author of three books: The Biting Age, Islands of Illusion,
and The Blue Fairy and Other Stories.

"A whole new literary world has opened up for me on my favorite subject - tea.  Laurie Nienhaus has done a beautiful job compiling these literary
works together with delightful vintage photos and images."  
Donna Hardin, Miss Spenser's Teas

 

 And Then It Was Teatime is a lovely book.  The passages and illustrations really bring you back in time.  I love that some entries are very short and quotable while others are a nice little sit down with a cup of tea. 
Very enjoyable.

Absolutely charming! What a pleasant way to spend a solitary teatime.

Margaret Andersen
 Maggie Mae Magazine

 

 Tea is the topic in this whimsical assemblage of clever quotes, personal letters, and snippets of literature.  What a pleasure it is to consort with the fashionable crowd, “take tea” with the famous, and make new acquaintances with every turn of the page!  Like the enchanting brew, carefully prepared, this compilation goes down smoothly.  Sugar?
