as I struggled to battle the illness of grief, I learned of many others who were undergoing the same struggle and asking for help. And then unexpected death.Īfter Gladys reveals she had no intentions of writing about her grief over Jill's death, the jacket continues: The one who'd worked hard to buy that cottage for their families for those summer retreats that turned into everyday life. Taber began writing early, penning a historical novel at age nine and poetry at ten. Gladys Bagg Taber, author of 59 books, including the Stillmeadow books, and columnist for Ladies Home Journal and Family Circle, was born in Colorado. My kids were young and we were so excited when the book mobile stopping right in front of our house in the rural development of Red.

I have collected many of them from Ebay since I first discovered the Stillmeadow books when the Hiram book mobile would come around to my neighborhood in the 1960s.

(Jill eventually loses her husband to death and they just move to Stillmeadow full time.) Gladys Taber's 40-acre farm, her 17th-century farmhouse, the village of Southbury, and the surrounding countryside became her writerly muses, beginning in 1931, when she moved up from Manhattan, and continuing until her death at age 81 in 1980. egh.Īnyway, out of that 'steal of a deal' in the house market- this woman was able to write and provide for a husband, who was more of an arranged marriage it appears, and who eventually went deaf, and a household of kids that came to her and her friend, Jill. The computer at the library held a handful of titles written by this college professor of creative writing, divorcee, and come to find out: an owner of a home built in 1690, which was purchased for dirt cheap because a man had killed his wife and then himself in it. The home was the muse out of which such books containing recipes made there, some fiction by the educated author, and other cozy books to read while it snowed outside.
