![]() This is evident in the breathless, tumbling dice style of storytelling that belongs to children. She has plenty of money but apart from that she struck me as a neglected child, whom despite receiving no attention, love or stability from her parents was basically a kind and happy person. Reading through reviews I was surprised how many found Eloise spoilt and horrible. It's quite a long book and one I think would make a good book to read alone for a child, there's so much to look at, each page is packed with illustrations. There are lots of French words and expressions that were an enjoyable addition to this story. ![]() We see no parents in this story only a nanny who seems kind and tolerant. Although reading this as an adult I became a little tired of the frenetic adventures of Eloise, I know as a child I would have enjoyed these humourous cartoon -like illustrations.Įloise is a young girl who does everything at top speed with the utmost enthusiasm accompanied by a stream of consciousness and several animal companions. ![]() I was lucky enough to find a 1958 hardback edition of this book in a charity shop recently. ![]()
