關於作者：
Kay Thompson 1909-1998 was a singer,
dancer, vocal arranger, and coach of many MGM musicals in the
1940s.
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.
