(3) PS In these old-fashioned books, Annabelle's wardrobe includes a muff and a tippet, among other outdated accessories, and the seasonal activities featured in Around the Year are decidedly turn-of-the-century rural. However, these are precisely the details that draw many people to Tudor's work. The illustrations alternate between black-and-white sketches and watercolor scenes. [Review covers A Is for Annabelle: A Doll's Alphabet, and Around the Year.]
