Prissy Sissy Tea Party Series: Christmas Candlelight Tea at the Manor

By Elizabeth Long

The Prissy Sissy Tea Party series of childrens books is centered on tea parties. The setting is a small town in the South. Sissys parents own a private school, LEcole Par Excellence, and a bed-and-breakfast inn known as Magnolia Manor.

The main character is Sissy, an eight-year-old who is the product of a Southern mother, who believes strongly in maintaining the social graces, customs, and traditions of the past, and a retired father who was a military officer but is now headmaster of their private school. Sissy blends her mothers influence with her own travel experiences and exposure to various cultures made possible because of her fathers military assignments. She then tells her story in her own Prissy Sissy way.

Her four best friends are Lauren, Zack, Alex, and Zeus, her Doberman pinscher. There are several exchange students attending the school who will appear as special guests when a tea party focuses on their homeland.

These books teach readers manners, tea etiquette, and social graces.


I am aware that todays world is one giant global society. Writing about other countries and studying their history and culture lend a cosmopolitan flavor to these books.

Different tea customs are explored and put into practice at the tea table. Artistic and musical personalities are also an integral part of this series.

Each book has a particular theme incorporating the aforementioned elements.

Areas of interest in the book include the following:
Vocabulary building
Manners
Tea etiquette
History
Cultural arts, music, and art
Other cultures and customs
Humanities

These books will appeal to children aged four to ten.

Whoope! It’s Christmas Break. Two whole weeks with no school. What a perfect time for a sleep over and a Christmas Candlelight Tea.

Magnolia Manor Bed and Breakfast, my home, never looked more festive. Decorations abound inside and outside. The banisters on the wraparound porch are draped with swags of evergreens tied with big red bows. Evergreen wreaths and red bows adorn the windows and doors. A welcome sight to all!
