I have a request for books featuring tea parties
within them in a positive or fun light. This is for a
person who actually throws formal tea parties as a
side business, and would like to add some short
readings from fiction featuring tea parties to the
mix. Alice in Wonderland aside....go to it, fiction_L!

Laura Childs has a series about a tea shop. . . .

Tea Rose by Jennifer Donnelly

The Circle of Five by Delores Stewart Riccio

The Importance of Being Ernest by Oscar Wilde

A Cup of Tea by Amy Ephron

Martha Grimes has a character, Melrose Plant, whose Aunt Agatha (Lady Ardry)
always arrives in time for tea. . . and seldom leaves a crumb unturned.

I believe that one of the American Girls had to learn how to have a formal tea. I don't remember which one though...maybe Felicity. Although the series is for young girls, it would be a nice short read for a tea party of adults.

Well, this isn't light or "lite" but it does give another perspective on
the art of drinking tea via the tea ceremony-- Yasunari Kawabata's
"Thousand Cranes."
