The Kitchen At Crabapple Cottage - Brambly Hedge By Author and Illustrator, Jill Barklem #ChildrensBooks #TeaHour #TeaTime
‘Mad as a Hatter’ comes from the 18th and 19th century when hatters used mercury nitrate as part of the process of turning animal fur into felt. The substance caused hallucinations, emotional instability and the desire to have tea with wild animals. #TeaHour☕️ #FolkloreThursday
