I'm so glad I read this! The letters are sweet and funny and charming. Also, there's magic and (as per the title) a very exciting and important chocolate pot. All chocolate pots are important in my world, but it's always nice to see that other's think they are special too.
It was the perfect book for a rainy sort of day. I mean, when one of the characters falls into a duckpond she writes: "My first thought was 'Earthquake!' My second, 'I will never be able to wear this bonnet again.” Clearly, she and I should be friends.
(update: I read this again in 2020 and IT WAS JUST RIGHT. This year needed a sweet, funny, adventurous comfort read and this book was perfect. I'm waiting for the next in the series to get to me because I immediately ordered it to own after I finished my reread. Finally.)
