Announcing new, lushly illustrated editions of these two companion
titles bringing readers closer to Jane Austen, sharing the secrets of her
tea-time ritual and the gardens she would have loved...
In the Garden with Jane Austen brings Jane Austen’s world and
Georgian Regency gardens to life. The book also includes
gardens featured in film adaptations of Austen’s novels and
provides instructions on creating one’s own Jane Austen garden.
Tea with Jane Austen begins with tea drinking in the morning and ends with tea in the evening, at balls and other gatherings. 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.
