What a delightful little read this book was. We chose this as our December selection for our Gables Book Club. The book is really a poem that recounts a person's hesitancy to visit an elderly aunt who had indicated that she would like to see the narrator for a cup of tea. Contrary to the feelings that he though he would experience, the young man was emotionally moved by the spirit of his aunt and her desire to keep all the traditions that he remembered as a youth. It was beautiful read as we are reminded to keep in touch with families and friends in the midst of a busy lifestyle. And our tea was just lovely with a traditional tiered service and a wonderful selection of teas. It was a perfect interlude in all our Christmas preparations.
