Eleanor Stackhouse Atkinson
Eleanor Atkinson is best known for her 1912 story book called Greyfriars Bobby. This popular book told the well known story of the dog called Greyfriars Bobby.  It is set in Edinburgh, in Scotland. New versions of the story copy some the story that Eleanor Atkinson wrote. Many details of the book, such as the details of the dog's master are wrong. It was thought that Eleanor Atkinson didn't visit Edinburgh.  It seems like she used the basic story and added parts from her own imagination. The story is very detailed, but the descriptions of the geography are sometimes wrong. Eleanor Atkinson tried to get names correct, and to get across the atmosphere of the city.
