TAKE JOY - The magical world of Tasha Tudor

The first video tape I received from Amazon was defective and would not work in my VCR. Amazon has exceptional customer service and immediately followed through with sending me a new copy, simultaneously when I sent the defective one back. I am completely satisfied with the quality of the replacement video. If you like Tasha Tudor this is a 48 minute look into her life when she was around 80 years old. Very quaint and biographical and a very nicely done video. Would recommend AMAZON and this video.

Old Fashioned Peace and tranquility

I really liked this video. Tasha is amazing in her strength and the way she lives. It is very comforting to watch how she takes care of herself and her love of animals. In all that she does in daily life she always finds time for her art. This video is a rare treat in this world of today.

a wonderful trip from home

Tasha Tudor claims that her "whole life has been a vacation". Watching this video is like taking a trip with her to a different place and time and coming back with a renewed spirit. While I also enjoy "Take Peace" - especially during the Christmas holiday season - "Take Joy" is a wonder for it's aesthetic qualities and insight into the private life of a noted illlustrator as well as a valuable reference tool for the gardener. It mirrors the same tone set in the three "coffee table" books about Tasha Tudor done by Tovah Martin, Richard W. Brown, and Tasha Tudor. This short video is artistically crafted, giving the viewer a glimpse into her private life: her kitchen, her gardens, her dollhouse and marionettes, her books and illustrations, her family history through photographs and some vintage film clips, her sense of humor, her steadfastness and her self-sufficiency.

While I have enjoyed my own copy, I have also given this video as gifts to appreciative friends. Take Joy is, indeed, a joy.
