Autorenporträt
Eleanor Farjeon, born on February 13, 1881, in London, England, daughter of Benjamin and Maggie (Jefferson). Farjeon was a renowned English author, poet, playwright, journalist and broadcaster. Home-schooled, she began writing at the age of five and quickly gained recognition, particularly in children's literature. Her simplicity of style, combined with profound emotional depth, made her works accessible and enduring. She is perhaps best known for her hymn 'Morning has Broken' which gained international acclaim thanks to the recording by Cat Stevens. Throughout her career Farjeon maintained a close circle of literary friends and contributed to the World War II effort. She received numerous literary awards, including the Carnegie Medal in 1955, the Hans Christian Andersen Medal in 1956 for her novel 'The Little Bookworm", and the Regina Medal for children's literature in 1956. The Children's Book Circle present a prestigious annual Eleanor Farjeon Award. Farjeon never married but had a contented 30-year relationship with George Earle, an English teacher. After his death in 1949, she befriended actor Denys Blakelock, who wrote a memoir: Eleanor, Portrait of the Farjeon (1966). She passed away in Hampstead, London on June 5, 1965, leaving behind a rich legacy of enchanting tales and timeless poetry.
