While There is Tea, There is Hope
(Author) Alex JohnsonDuring the long years of the Second World War tea remained the national form of hospitality, drunk and enjoyed by civilians and members of the armed forces alike. But it was the one rationed foodstuff that could not be grown or reared at home. This quirky gift book explores the importance of tea as a national symbol, an act of defiance and a taste of home for those on the fighting fronts. Filled with rich visual material, baking recipes and other ephemera from IWM's extensive archive as well as testimony from those who were there, this book taps into all things nostalgic and vintage.
