![]() ![]() Queen Victoria would recognize her as an Equal. She is not yet pretty but she is already a Person. Eloise is a little girl who lives at The Plaza Hotel in New York. ![]() (Ages 5 to 105) -Karin Snelson Review:īook Description Hardcover. Anyone who adores Eloise and is intrigued by her talented creators should have this book within easy reach. In addition to the full splendour of Eloise, this special edition includes a 16-page scrapbook, written by Marie Brenner, with "photographs of Miss Kay Thompson when she was young and fabulous and rawther like Eloise" and never-before-seen photographs, memorabilia and sketches and stories from illustrator Hilary Knight. Even if you have seven copies of the original Eloise, you may want to add The Absolutely Essential Eloise to your collection. She is the only girl we know who feeds her turtle raisins and braids his ears, wears Kleenex boxes on her head (they make very good hats) and gets away with everything. Anyone who has been introduced to the eccentric 6-year-old who spends her days at large in New York's Plaza Hotel pouring water down the mail chute and managing her self-imposed responsibilities is fascinated, fascinated, fascinated. Eloise gave Vanity Fair writer Marie Brenner "permission to rebel". Pulitzer Prize winner Anna Quindlen finds her pathetic and lonely. ![]() ![]() Maurice Sendak calls Eloise a "brazen, loose-limbed little monster". ![]()
