Around the Year by Tasha Tudor

When I flip a page on my calendar, I often feel a keen anticipation for the next set of holidays and traditions. To really get into the spirit of things, I turn to the work of Tasha Tudor, a 20th-century artist and author known for her scenes of rural life in New England.

Tudor’s detailed work with pencil and watercolor shines in Around the Year, an illustrated poem first published in 1957. It strolls through the months, showing families gathered at church and around the fireside, children playing outside, and farm and woodland animals accompanying each of the seasonal events. This book is a lovely keepsake or gift, always reminding us, as Tudor writes, that joy may be ours around the year. —Katrina Farmer, Yankee associate editor

Everyone loves a celebration, and renowned illustrator Tasha Tudor offers one for every month in this enchanting treasury of seasons. Come enter a world where sledding excursions melt into summer picnics, and autumn fairs beckon Christmas cheer. A book to be enjoyed around the year!
