Tea with Jane Austen

Tea with Jane Austen by author Kim Wilson is the latest in the titles being discussed by the members of the Jane Austen book club here at the Marshall Public Library. The delightful little book is itself like a refreshing cup of tea, stimulating, light and easy to digest. Wilson’s book deals with the history of tea in the time of Jane Austen. “Each chapter includes a description of how tea was taken at a particular place or time of day, along with history, recipes, excerpts from Austen’s novels and letters and illustrations from the time.” The MPL book discussion group of Austen fans has been reading books about and by Jane Austen since the first of the year; they meet monthly on every fourth Saturday at 10am in the children’s corner at the Library. Anyone who is interested is welcome to drop by, read, listen, and enjoy a cup of tea.
