She was a throwback and proud of it, but that made her illustrations and books just wonderful vehicles for evoking beautiful, lost miniature worlds. Certainly she simplified, glamorized, and embellished those worlds--I knew but basked in them anyway. I hope she did go back to the 1830s, as she said she expected to do. Even then, she'd have to be as reclusive as she was in our day to overlook the era's problems. Wherever she is, she's making it lovelier. Becky Noel I will miss Tasha Tudor! She was a throwback and proud of it, but that made her illustrations and books just wonderful vehicles for evoking beautiful, lost miniature worlds. Certainly she simplified, glamorized, and embellished those worlds–I knew but basked in them anyway. I hope she did go back to the 1830s, as she said she expected to do. Even then, she’d have to be as reclusive as she was in our day to overlook the era’s problems. Wherever she is, she’s making it lovelier.
