Tea with Victoria Rose

This book makes a person happy. This book is a great compliment to a tea party.

The book is lovely and contains ideas and recipes for sharing a tea party with your special little girl...even a darling miniature tea set is included!

A marvelous thank you to Susan Wheeler and Mr. Kortepeter for their beautiful work in creating this book. Wonderful artwork with that adorable Victorian setting, delightful recipes for teatime and useful tips for tea parties. Highly reccommendable for all tea lovers.

Like most people, I was drawn to this book because of the artwork. And while the drawings are first-rate throughout, it was the writing that really got me hooked. From the seasonal stories to the recipes to the Holly Pond Hill Gazette entries, this book is a delightful potpourri of words. My hat's off to Paul Kortepeter for his inventiveness and to Susan Wheeler for her vision. I can't wait for the next book! Ciao.

I really enjoyed the Polite Society Gazette stories throughout the book. We have tried the scone recipe and found it delightful and easy. This is a fun book to read, get ideas, and enjoy the pictures. There is significant detail on the history and etiquette of tea parties--presented in a way that is interesting and entertaining. In addition, there are a number of suggestions for turning a common get together into a special, memorable event--with minimal effort. We enjoy giving this fun book away as a gift to friends and family.
