      Tasha Tudor, a celebrated author and illustrator of over seventy-five children's books since 1938, now lives on a farm in southern Vermont, where she has recreated an early Victorian world. Photographer Richard Brown spent a year capturing her life on the farm, blending Tudor's own words with more than 100 color photographs to portray her captivating personality and lifestyle. Her stunning garden, which she calls "Paradise on earth," serves as a backdrop to her artistic inspiration. A lively menagerie, including her corgies, Nubian goats, and various birds, fills her home and grounds. The book showcases Tudor at work in her winter kitchen, creating delicate watercolors and drawings for her beloved books and calendars. It features examples of her art, including unpublished sketches, and highlights her enchanting three-story dollhouse, handmade dolls, marionettes, and her candlelit Christmas tree. Born into Boston society in 1914, Tudor felt a deep connection to the 1830s, stating that skills from that era come easily to her. Dressed in antique clothing and using traditional methods, she embodies a simpler existence in harmony with nature's rhythms, as depicted in these evocative photographs.

    • An engaging range of period texts and theme books for AS and A Level history. The years between the rise of William Pitt in the early 1780s and the repeal of the Corn Laws in 1846 saw Britain struggle with political and social tensions caused by the economic changes that began in the mid-eighteenth century. Changes in attitudes towards who could vote, how the poor should be treated, how towns should be governed and how popular protest should be conducted led to confrontations between different segments of society. Yet Britain escaped revolution. Resistance, radicalism and reform. Richard Brown explores key issues which help explain these developments of the period.
