Summary: An anthology of poems, stories, songs, letters, and miscellaneous facts describing various aspects of love. Tasha Tudor (August 28, 1915 – June 18, 2008) was an American illustrator and author of children's books. When socializing with her mother's friends, Tudor was usually introduced as "Rosamund Tudor's daughter, Tasha", leading others to believe that her last name was Tudor. Liking the sound of it, she adopted the name and eventually changed her surname legally. She married Thomas McCready in 1938 in Redding, Connecticut. Tasha and Thomas McCready purchased a large old farm in Webster, New Hampshire, where four children, Bethany, Seth, Thomas, and Efner, were raised. Her first story, Pumpkin Moonshine, was published in 1938, as a gift for a young niece of her husband. Tasha Tudor illustrated nearly one hundred books, the last being Corgiville Christmas, released in 2003. Several were collaborative works with a New Hampshire friend Mary Mason Campbell. Tudor lived in Marlboro, Vermont, in a house copied from that of other New Hampshire friends Donn & Doris Purvis. Her sons Seth and Tom built the replication and son Seth lived next door with his family. It is documented in Drawn from New England, and in The Private World of Tasha Tudor. Mother and son as well as daughter Efner, who published a couple of books together with Tasha Tudor, worked closely on family endeavors. More
