Tasha Tudor, Children’s Book Illustrator, Dies at 92 - Obituary (Obit) - NYTimes.com: "Tasha Tudor, a children’s illustrator whose pastel watercolors and delicately penciled lines depicted an idyllic, old-fashioned vision of the 19th-century way of life she famously pursued — including weaving, spinning, gathering eggs and milking goats — died on Wednesday at her home in Marlboro, Vt."
My wife is the one who introduced my kids to Tasha Tudor's illustrations. I hadn't known the books as a kid, myself. Angela and Allen even had some jigsaw puzzles based on Tudor's art.

It's a shame that that type of artwork is so rare today. Most modern children's books look like they were drawn by someone trying to make stick figures while riding a bike down a cobblestone street.
