Kurzbiographie
Eleanor Farjeon was born in London, England to a literary family. Her parents Benjamin Farjeon and Maggie (Jefferson) Farjeon were both popular novelists. Her younger brothers Joseph and Herbert Farjeon also became writers. She had poor health as a child and was educated at home, where she was encouraged to write. Among her earliest publications was a volume of poems, Pan Worship (1908). During World War I, the family moved to Sussex, whose landscape, villages and local traditions were to influence her later writing. At age 18, she wrote the libretto for an operetta, Floretta, to music by her older brother Harry, who later became a composer and teacher of music. She also collaborated with Herbert on Kings and Queens (1932), The Two Bouquets (1938), An Elephant in Arcady (1939), and The Glass Slipper (1944).

Eleanor had a wide range of friends and moved in artistic and literary circles that included D.H. Lawrence, Walter de la Mare, and Robert Frost. She was a close friend of Edward Thomas, the poet, who was killed in World War I, and later published much of their correspondence and his diaries in her book Edward Thomas: The Last Four Years (1958).

After World War I, she earned a living as a poet, journalist, and broadcaster. Her poems and stories appeared in such publications as Punch, Time and Tide, the Daily Herald, and The New Leader, often under pseudonyms. Today she is best known as a children's book author --her most famous book, Martin Pippin in the Apple Orchard (1921) was inspired by a family holiday in France in 1907. During the 1950s, she received three major literary awards: the Carnegie Medal for British children's books; the inaugural Hans Christian Andersen Medal; and the first Regina Medal from the Catholic Library Association. She wrote an autobiography, A Nursery in the Nineties (1935). She also wrote the hymn Morning Has Broken, later recorded by singer Cat Stevens.

Rezensionen

The wonderful “Elsie Piddock slips in her sleep” has been published as a stand-alone picture book and “The Tantony Pig” should be as well. Eleanor Farjeon was a great story teller. But if I ever have to read to a child about poor Wilkin’s sooty handprints, there will be editing on the fly and discussion about why casual racism doesn’t have to be malicious to be hurtful. Brazil nuts are now Brazil nuts, minstrel shows are a thing of the past; times change, and sometimes for the better.… (mehr)

I remember loving this novel as a child. Sadly it doesn't quite live up to my fond memories. It's a little too childish, with all the sing-song rhymes and Ella's saintly goodness. But I did enjoy Ella invoking the guests to play hide-and-seek at the ball and how she became strong enough to stand up to her stepmother at the end. Still a worthwhile read, but more for children than adults.

A retelling of the classic tale of Cinderella, based upon an earlier play of the same name. Brings to vivid life the trials and tribulations of young Ella, mistreated by her nasty stepmother and unattractive stepsisters, who dreams of going to the Prince's ball.

A charming premise for anybody interested in knitting: apparently the nurse, while threading the needle to darn a sock, children gathered around her, would look back through her memory for a story that would fit the hole.

Oh and pics by Edward A. What more could one ask for? I loved Farjeon when I was little, but I can't recall having read this.
