(By the way, Eloise’s father is never even acknowledged.) But instead of being a latchkey child, she parties it up at the Plaza. She is in constant motion, whether messing with hotel thermostats, irritating the hell out of her exhausted “rawther” British nanny, or hobnobbing with her never-seen mother’s lawyer.
Yet, 60 years since her 1955 debut in Eloise: A Book For Precocious Grown-ups, Eloise has been a hero to generations of girls-and for good reason.Įloise is a force of nature whirling about the Plaza. The 6-year-old girl who wreaked havoc on New York City’s Plaza Hotel was the creation of author Kay Thompson and illustrator Hilary Knight. Unlike the other ladies in that litany, Eloise is not an actual human. When I was a little girl, I loved and looked up to many females: Melissa Joan Hart, the Olsen Twins, the Spice Girls.
