Get out your party dresses! Wellesley Booksmith and the Betsy-Tacy Societyare brightening up February break with An Edwardian Tea Party in celebration of HarperCollins’ reissue of the classic Betsy-Tacy series of children’s books by Maud Hart Lovelace. Set at the turn of the 20th century, these beloved books chronicle the adventures of Betsy Ray and her best friend Tacy Kelly as they grow from little girls to young women.

At this lively event we will serve tea and snacks, make scrapbooks and calling cards, and participate in a puppet-style performance of the girls’ adventures. Were the Betsy-Tacy books among your favorites growing up? If so, this is a wonderful opportunity to introduce the books to your own children. If not, join us for this fun-filled afternoon and get to know a series beloved by generations of readers.
