About the author
Born in 1890, Ethel Cook Eliot was an American author whose books ranged from children's fantasy to mysteries for girls and adult fiction. Reliable catalog and reference listings connect her with titles including The Little House in the Fairy Wood, The House Above the Trees, The Wind Boy, The Vanishing Comrade, Ariel Dances, and Green Doors.
She is especially remembered for her children's books, which helped keep her name alive with later readers. The Wind Boy, first published in 1923, is the best-known example and has been reissued long after its original publication, suggesting a lasting appeal.
Eliot died in 1972. I couldn't confirm a suitable portrait image from the sources I checked, so no profile image is included here.
