Emily Dickinson invites you for tea, secrets, eccentricities and passion! As she says: “Every town must have its local character, and that’s what I am!”

Social restrictions are thrown to the wind and surprises come at every turn. With a startlingly resonant voice, with heart and humor, her writing and values transcend fashion for timelessness. It’s a deliriously private world – and Emily Dickinson is our host!
