The Eloise character grew out of the voice of a precocious six-year-old that Miss Thompson put on to amuse her friends. Collaborating with Hilary Knight on what was an immediate bestseller, Kay Thompson became a literary sensation when Eloise was published in 1955. The book has sold more than two million copies to date. Kay Thompson and Hilary Knight created four more Eloise books, Eloise in Paris, Eloise at Christmas, Eloise in Moscow, and Eloise Takes a Bawth.
Hilary Knight, son of artist-writers Clayton Knight and Katharine Sturges, was educated at the Art Students League, where he studied with Reginald Marsh. Besides the Eloise books, Hilary Knight has illustrated more than fifty books for children, six of which he wrote himself.
He lives and works in New York City, not far from The Plaza Hotel.

Very Disappointing!,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Eloise Goes to the Beach (Kay Thompson's Eloise) (Hardcover)
Big fan of the Eloise books. But his one was a mistake. No inforamtion listed that this book has pull tabs, flaps, and wheels to turn. Parts ripped off or didn't work at first reading by an adult! Very disappointed! Story could be more interesting, too.
