Eloise Collection
"I am Eloise. I am six.
I am a city child. I live at the Plaza."
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 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.
