Elsie Finnimore Buckley (1 August 1882 – 6 June 1959〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=The Peerage )〕) was an English writer and translator. Buckley was born in Calcutta, the daughter of Robert Burton Buckley, a civil engineer, and Ada Marian Sarah Finnimore. She was educated at Girton College, Cambridge. In March 1899, at age 16, Buckley won a gold medal in the Société Nationale des Professeurs de Français en Angleterre's annual French language and literature competition. In 1920 she married the writer Anthony Ludovici. In ''Children of the Dawn, Old Tales of Greece'' (1909), it is noted that the writer possesses a terse simplicity of style, and that the book is an "almost inexhaustible treasure-house of the ancient Greek tales". However, because the book was considered to be on a serious topic, a reviewer at the time said: "The plain truth is that this is not woman's work, and a woman has neither the knowledge nor the literary tact necessary for it." Essays from her book of Greek tales for children, ''Children of the Dawn'', have appeared in other collections aimed at the younger audience.〔Buckly, Else Finnimore. The Curse of Echo. ''The Story Tellers' Magazine,'' Number 4 Volume 5. April 1917 ()〕 The tales are still included in bibliographies of books on ancient cultures for young readers.〔Brazouski, Antoinette, and Mary J.
