Perhaps more than any country, we Brits love our cup of tea. Our day revolves around the morning cuppa, tea breaks, the decadent pleasure of Afternoon Tea, and there's always teatime to look forward to. We hold tea parties, adore tea shops and tea is our first port of call in times of crisis, not forgetting the pleasure of putting the kettle on when friends drop by. We even profess to predicting the future from the soggy, used leaves. Just how, and why, did tea sneak completely into the British psyche? Where does it come from and why after centuries, is our love of it still so strong today? The Great Book of Tea traces the history of tea since its introduction into the UK and also looks at the journey of tea from plant to pot. Elaine Lemm uncovers the origins of the thoroughly British institution of Afternoon Tea (currently undergoing something of a revival) and our nation's long-standing love affair with tea. The book also includes many great recipes - both those using tea and delicious recipes for the perfect Afternoon Tea.

One man's role in the Abdication of Edward VIII has been secret ever since the crisis over his love for Mrs Simpson unfolded in December 1936. Described by those in the know as "a leader of Black Magic in England', he had been treating Edward for alcohol problems. The discovery that the King had secretly turned to Dr Alexander Cannon was the point of no return for the religious leaders and politicians around King Edward. He had to go. Recently uncovered documents and tape recordings show that not only was there a "plot" hatched to oust Edward, but that fascist Black Shirt supporters claimed they too were aware of a conspiracy involving Dr Cannon and the "King Watchers" - and they tried to stop it. So who was "Sir" Dr Alexander Cannon? And why was he later allowed to set up a clinic for battle-weary top brass military during the Second World War - despite being suspected of spying? Using additional MI5 and police documents, this is the story of the hypnotist, the King, and the clinic attended by the rich and famous who went for Cannon's special brand of treatment - and the odd sexual tryst...
