1977 edition of Tasha Tudor's Bedtime Book, a collection of classic fairy tales to be read at bedtime.
Illustrated by Tasha Tudor. Edited by Kate Klimo. First edition thus, 1977. Platt & Munk, Publishers, New York.
The Guardian described Tasha Tudor (1915 - 2008), award-winning author and illustrator of over 100 books, as "famous for living an idyllic, back-to-basics life in New England where she went barefoot, spun flax to make linen for clothes, raised Nubian goats for milk, and looked after her beloved Corgis.
"She painted gentle watercolours, wove baskets, held elaborate doll weddings and marionette shows, and floated birthday cakes down the river for her children.
"She illustrated books including the The Secret Garden, Little Women and Mother Goose as well as producing her own works such as Corgiville Fair and The Great Corgiville Kidnapping, which were popular all over the world, especially in Japan and Korea. Fans would take £100 tours of her home, a replica late 18th-century farmhouse."
This is a nice collection of classic fairy tales, some well-known, some less so, edited to be read at bedtime.
