More About the Squirrels
by Eleanor Tyrrell
About the author
Eleanor Tyrrell is best known for writing about animals, especially squirrels. Her book More About the Squirrels was published in the 1910s, and the text itself identifies her as the author of How I Tamed the Wild Squirrels, showing that close, patient observation of wildlife was at the heart of her work.
Her writing has the feel of a naturalist sharing firsthand experiences rather than a distant expert delivering facts. That makes her books easy to enjoy for readers who like classic nature writing, animal behavior, and small, vivid details from the garden and countryside.
Reliable biographical details about her life are limited in the sources available here, so it is safest to remember her chiefly through her books: charming, attentive studies of squirrels that helped bring everyday wildlife to life for readers.
