A Tea Shop Journal: a Week in the Life of Minnie and Lizzie (Two Little Jack Russells) Who Run the Sea View Tea Rooms Dot Merry

This book is about a week in the life of Minnie and Lizzie, two little Jack Russells, who run a seaside tea room. It is a gentle story with characters like Jessie the Collie who is a martyr to the church (and her knitting) and Dame Betty, an amateur Thespian with loads of Saluki style. The journey takes you through the hilarious ups and downs of Lizzie with her muddling, over the top behaviour and shy, secretive, loving Minnie. Between the two little sisters they manage, in their own way , to trundle through the chaos of each day. The story is for big and little people everywhere. The illustrations are designed for the reader to colour in. The front cover is from an original painting of Minnie and Lizzie by Dot Merry. Illustrations by Dot Merry
