Have
you heard about the new Tasha
Tudor Museum?
| |
Tasha Tudor devoted her book Corgiville Fair
to her Beloved Corgyn,
Farley Jr., Mr. B, Missus, Megan, Caleb, Snap, Farley, and Corey.
Since this 1971 painting, Tasha Tudor has had additional corgyn: Owyn, Rebecca
and Tasha's current corgi, Megan.

"There is no other dog that can compare to a corgi.
They're the epitome of beauty. Apollo can't hold a candle to my Owyn. He has
royal blood, the same sire as Queen Elizabeth's corgis, that's why I named him
Owyn Tudor after my ancestors. Corgis are Welsh in origin and there are two
kinds: Cardigans, which are heavy-headed and have tails that go all the way
down, and Pembrokes, like mine, that have no tails and are more refined.
My very first corgi was bought by my son Tom for ten guineas
from a Reverend Mr. Jones, a vicar in Pembrokeshire, who shipped him over in a
tea chest. It was love at first sight and I was determined I had to have
more. I've had up to thirteen or fourteen at one time, which causes a lot
of commotion underfoot, especially when people come to call.
They're such characters- a mixture of a dog and a cat, I
think. They especially don't like to be scolded in public. They talk back; they
growl and show their teeth and pretend they're frightfully savage. However, they
never criticize. You're always beautiful to them.
I take great pains in feeding them the best. Never canned dog
food, I wouldn't dream of it! They always have fresh homemade soup, or goat's
meat, and lots of garlic. That's why they don't have fleas.
How could you resist a corgi? Look at their faces. I find them
thoroughly adorable, particularly when they're little. And in the winter it's
very cozy to sleep with a nice warm corgi in the small of your back to cut the
drafts. We always had a medley of doggies when the children were growing up --
collies, wolfhounds, terriers, and then corgis above all. I find them
irresistible. They are my trademark."
-excerpt from pages 33-35 of The Private World of Tasha Tudor
Tasha Tudor currently lives with her
corgi, Megan.
Here is a list of items that focus on corgis. You would be hard pressed to
find a piece of Tasha Tudor work without a corgi somewhere in it. (Aside
from the work that was done before she discovered them.)

Corgiville
Fair "In Corgiville, as in any small towns all over America,
the biggest event of the year is the fair. The sights, sounds,
smells, and all the fun and excitement of a typical small-town fair are
captured with humor and affection both in the text and in the marvelously
detailed watercolor paintings." Though for children,
adults seem unable to resists the charm of Corgiville. |

but Caleb feels secrecy and conspiracy in the air..." |
