Tasha Tudor (1914-2008) has written and illustrated nearly 100 beloved children’s
books since her first, Pumpkin Moonshine, in 1938. She designed an enchanting three-story dollhouse with handmade dolls and marionettes. Tasha Tudor lived
according to her own lights. She wore antique clothing and cooked on a woodstove with 19th century utensils. Rejecting commercialism, trends, and fads in her life, as in her art, she cultivated the virtues of the simpler way of life of a country dweller of over a hundred years ago.
Examples of her work are scattered throughout the room:
-Pumpkin
-Doll’s Christmas
-Walnut shell
-Tea party
-Portrait of Tasha Tudor
-Welsh corgi
-Acorn birdhouse
the house can be removed.
