Reveries at Stillmeadow: A Woman's Precious Moments from the Stillmeadow Books of Gladys Taber

Gladys Taber was an American author, educated at Wellesley and Lawrence College. Well known for her magazine column "Butternut Wisdom", she offered common sense advice and simple wisdom. The importance of her writing may be that she celebrated the simple things and advised others to do the same. 'I suppose children grow more in spite of their parents than because of them. The one vital factor is love, and neither children nor adults flourish without love. Love is to human beings as the sun is to plants.'
