Eloise (originally titled Eloise: A Book for Precocious Grown-ups) is the first of the Eloise book series written and drawn by Kay Thompson and Hilary Knight, respectively. It was published in 1955.[3] In 1969, the adult-oriented book was re-released as a children's book, without change.[1] An audiobook version of Eloise, narrated by Bernadette Peters, was released in October 2015 to coincide with the 60th anniversary of the series.[2] The title character was inspired by an alter ego of Thompson.
