The Journals of Susanna Moodie

Kim — Wed, 20 Aug 2025 21:33:18 +0000

Margaret Atwood’s The Journals of Susanna Moodie (1970), regarded by many as her most fully realized volume of poetry, is one of the great Canadian and feminist epics. In 1980, Margaret Atwood’s longtime friend, the distinguished Canadian artist Charles Pachter, illustrated, designed, and published a handmade boxed portfolio edition of 120 copies of the poem with silkscreen prints, created as an act of homage to the poet. Atwood herself has said of Pachter’s work, His is a sophisticated art which draws upon many techniques and evokes many echoes. The poem and the prints inspire one another. This is the first facsimile edition of the original, as well as the first one-volume American edition of the poem, with an introduction by Charles Pachter and a foreword by David Staines.

The Private World of Tasha Tudor

Kim — Wed, 20 Aug 2025 21:33:18 +0000

Tasha Tudor has written and illustrated more than seventy-five beloved children’s books since her first, Pumpkin Moonshine, in 1938. Now seventy-seven years old, she lives on a farm in southern Vermont, where she has recreated an early Victorian world. To capture this intimate portrait of Tasha Tudor, photographer Richard Brown followed her throughout a year on her farm. By interweaving Tudor’s own words and more than 100 color photographs, Brown has evoked the essence of Tudor’s uniquely appealing personality and way of life.The inspiration for Tudor’s art is evident in her delightful surroundings. Foremost is the magnificent garden she designed and rightfully calls “Paradise on earth.” A lively menagerie is always underfoot, indoors and out, including her trademark corgies, the Nubian goats she milks twice a day, the one-eyed cat Minou, the chickens, fantail doves, and the cockatiels, canaries, exotic finches, and parrots that inhabit a virtual village of antique cages.We watch Tudor at work in a corner of her winter kitchen, her “chipmunk’s nest,” on the delicate watercolors and drawings that illustrate the books and calendars that have charmed three generations. Examples of her work are scattered throughout the book, including many drawings from her sketchbook and vignettes never previously published. Her enchanting three-story dollhouse is featured in detail as are her handmade dolls and marionettes as well as the candlelit tree that is the centerpiece of Tasha Tudor’s old-fashioned New England Christmas.Born in 1914 into Boston society (she sat on Oliver Wendell Holmes’s knee as a child; Mark Twain and Albert Einstein were also her parents’ friends), Tudor felt from an early age that she had lived before, in the 1830s. She says, “Everything comes so easily to me from that period, of that time: threading a loom, growing flax, spinning, milking a cow.”Dressed in antique clothing, spinning and weaving her own linen, cooking on a woodstove with nineteenth-century utensils, Tudor inhabits a world that in these evocative photographs speaks to all who long for a simpler existence in harmony with the seasonal rhythms of nature.
