Autorenporträt

Eleanor Stackhouse Atkinson was an American author, journalist, and teacher. Eleanor Stackhouse was born in Rensselaer, Indiana, and later married Francis Blake Atkinson, a novelist. The couple had two daughters: Dorothy Blake and Frances Eleanor. She taught in schools in both Indianapolis and Chicago. From 1888 to 1890, she worked as a stunt girl reporter for the Chicago Tribune under the pseudonym "Nora Marks" and later became the publisher of the Little Chronicle Publishing Company in Chicago, which published several of her own works as well as other educational books and the Little Chronicle, an illustrated newspaper for young children. While she authored both fiction and nonfiction, the former largely romances and the latter mostly educational volumes, her most famous work is Greyfriars Bobby, published in 1912. This popular work told the renowned narrative of the eponymous dog; most modern versions appear to be based on her rendition of the story. Many elements in the book, particularly those involving the dog's master, are incorrect; until recently, it was considered that she had no opportunity for fresh investigation into her location. It appears that she worked from the fundamental plot and enhanced it with her own ideas.
