WGBH Forum Network; Belinda Rathbone: Tea with Miss Rose

Rathbone, Belinda · December 17, 2009

Belinda Rathbone, co-author of Tea with Miss Rose, talks about the life and times of Rose Nichols, the Bostonian spinster who gathered a regular crowd at her townhouse on Beacon Hill in the 1950s to discuss art, politics, and world affairs over a cup of Hu-Kwa. Rathbone describes these famous tea parties and shares recipes for tea cakes and the best "ingredients" for lively conversations for a proper tea party.
