Yes, I love her drawings for Smith of Wooton Major. I, believe it or not, actually own the first edition of that! I also love the illustrations in Farmer Giles of Ham - they are so amusing. There's a dog that keeps looking as if he thinks Giles is nuts. And I have an old Ballantyne paperback called, I think, Songs and Poems of Middle Earth, that she did the cover and illustrations for. Her picture of Goldberry from the song of Tom Bombadil is beautiful.

Well, I'm sad, but she was quite elderly and she has such a wonderful legacy. I actually wept at Trina Schart Hyman's death because she died of breast cancer still relatively young.
