Author Biography
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.

Excerpts
Excerpt
We hang everything
on our Christmas tree
Ornaments big and bright
and all of these sparkling icicles
and twirling balls of white
I always hang a star on top
With angels in between
Here's how many lights we have --
Thirty-seven and sixteen

I'm rawther fond of caroling
Fa la on every floor
Fa la la la to catering
Fa la from door to door
Fa la la la fa la la lolly ting tingles of angel hair.
Blow music of trinkles
and drinkles of glass
there's Christmas everywhere
We sang Noel for 506
Silent Night for 507
We didn't sing for 509
at the request of 511
But ho ho ho and jiggeldy ping
We were not dismayed
We skibbled into the exit sign
and sang
Oh trinkles oh drinkles fa la fa lo
for Lily
the nightmaid
Skipperdee lost a tooth
singing Good King Wenceslaus
But we found it behind
this azalea plant
hiding under this moss
