Tabor's fiction shows a remarkable concentration on her own life, with the same themes and characters appearing again and again, and, as often happens with popular writers about whom the public is very curious, she became increasingly open about her own life when she turned completely to nonfiction after publishing her last novel, a barely disguised autobiography, in 1957. In later novels, her heroines are long-suffering middle-aged housewives. Her fiction is light and uplifting her heroines usually find true love despite an unsympathetic father or class differences. Tabor's early work includes a play and a book of poems, but most of it is popular romance, sometimes serialized in magazines such as the Ladies' Home Journal. In 1922 she married a professor of music at Randolph-Macon College in Virginia, who lost his hearing and had to leave his profession. at Lawrence College, Appleton, Wisconsin, in 1921 and did graduate work at Columbia University. She graduated from Wellesley in 1920 took an M.A. Gladys Bagg Tabor was born in the West, grew up in the Midwest, and lived her adult life in Virginia, New York, and New England.

These are the books I crave this time of year–they are like a soft, warm blanket for my winter-dreading mind. In today’s post, I’m sharing some of my favorite cozy “house” books–homes filled with beautiful warm, rich interiors. When autumn arrives and the cooler weather starts moving in, my heart tells me it’s time to bring out all the woolly throws, make a nice, steaming mug of hot cocoa, and pull a book from my shelves that I know will be filled with cozy imagery and charming stories.
