Brief description:

Eleanor Estes (1906-1988) grew up in West Haven, Connecticut, which she renamed Cranbury for her classic stories about the Moffat and Pye families. A children's librarian for many years, she launched her writing career with the publication of The Moffats in 1941. Two of her outstanding books about the Moffats--Rufus M. and The Middle Moffat--were awarded Newbery Honors, as was her short novel The Hundred Dresses. She won the Newbery Medal for Ginger Pye.

Review Quotes:

"Eleanor Estes, with the skill which created the 'Moffats, ' has succeeded in composing her hero with enough mischief and daring to be both real and likable."--Christian Science Monitor
