A children's book illustrator known for her whimsical drawings of gardens, pets and country outings in rural New England that echoed her own picturesque lifestyle, has died.

Tasha Tudor died Wednesday at her Marlboro home. She was 92.

Tudor illustrated such classics as ``Little Women'' and ``The Secret Garden.''

Tudor quit school after eighth grade. She wrote or collaborated on nearly 100 children's books after making her debut with ``Pumpkin Moonshine'' in 1938.

In addition to ``The Secret Garden,'' she illustrated ``The Night Before Christmas'' and wrote books of her own, including ``Corgiville Fair.'
