Poetic Obituaries: [Tasha] Tudor illustrated several classics

of children's literature, including "The Secret Garden" and "The Wind in the Willows."

She also compiled poetry collections, such as "Wings from the Wind," with poetry from venerable writers such as Robert Louis Stevenson, Robert Frost, Emily Dickinson, Shakespeare and Wordsworth.

Do today's children like her old-fashioned illustrations? The delicate watercolors may verge on the sentimental, but the details of animals, plants, people and daily activities give them a sturdy appeal.
