Description: Many of Gladys Taber's early books about her life at Stillmeadow, her 17th-century Connecticut farmhouse, are collector's items, ditficult for Mrs, Taber's numerous fans to find, To preserve those early gems, Constance Taber Colby, the author's daughter, has assembled and sensitively edited The Best of Stillmeadow from seven books that span three decades. The result is a marvelous collector's item in itself--a volume with continuity and freshness that gives a broad, season- ally oriented overview of the country life, warm insights, and the old-fashioned charm readers love to share with Mrs. Taber. The books anthologized here are Harvest at Stillmeadow (1940), The Book Stillmeadow (1948), Stillmeadow Scasons (1950), Stillmeadow Daybook (1955), Stillmeadow Sampler (1959), The Stillmeadow Road (1962), and Still- meadow Calendar (1967). Mrs. Colby has provided an introduction about her own first visit to Stillmeadow. A drawing by artist Edward Shenton enhances each of the book's fourteen sections.
