"I am Eloise. I
am six. I am a city child. I live at the Plaza." |
| |
 |
| |
|
Eloise endlessly
roams the landmark hotel in search of adventure. She attends
weddings, invited or not. She spies on debutantes as they dance
in the Terrace Room. |

The morning
routine includes helping the maid change the sheets, even if she
doesn't ask for help. |

Thus begins our
introduction to Eloise. Born circa 1949 and introduced to us in
1955, Eloise's adventures have come to life in a series of four
books. We learn all about Eloise, Nanny, her "rawther" British
nanny, her dog Weenie who looks like a cat, and her turtle
Skipperdee who eats raisins and wears sneakers. An international
traveler, Eloise has been to Paris and Moscow too!
Eloise likes to use
"S" words to describe what she does:
- Skibbles up and down the stairs
- Skidders two sticks along the walls
- Slomps her feet against the woodwork
- Scampers up a ladder
- Sklonks the barber in the kneecap

She wrote Eloise simply by
listening to Eloise talk |

|
(Eloise talks in
a wispy, breathless version of Miss Thompson's gusty speech) and
then writing down what Eloise had said |
