WHILE THERE IS TEA THERE IS HOPE (HB)

On July 9, 1940, Britons learnt that tea was to go ‘on the ration’. Worse, it could not be grown or reared at home. This charming little book celebrates the power of tea as a national symbol and act of defiance during Britain’s darkest hour. A fascinating look at life during the Second World War, beautifully illustrated with rich visual material from Imperial War Museums and filled with wartime ephemera, historic photographs and war-era artwork. There are also vintage baking recipes to try out and enjoy with your favourite brew.
