Evelyn Whitaker
Evelyn Whitaker (1844–1929) was an English children's writer.
==Background==
Whitaker was born in Herne Bay, Kent, the seventh child of Edward Whitaker (b. 1802, a solicitor originally from Bratton, Wiltshire and previously and later of London and Middlesex) and his wife Emily Ann Woolbert (d. before 1851). She attended the Ladies College in Bedford Square, which later developed into Bedford College, part of the University of London.〔Biography: Evelyn Whitaker, 1844-1929 (Retrieved 29 July 2013. )〕 She died in Hammersmith, London at the age of 84, having remained a spinster all her life, and often lived with one or more of her sisters.
All Whitaker's works were published anonymously and her identity was not revealed until 1903. Her 19 novels and several shorter stories were issued by multiple publishers in Britain, Australia, Canada and the United States from 1879–1915. Many of these editions were beautifully bound and illustrated. However, Whitaker's writing style was praised as "a study in English for its conciseness, simplicity, and elegance"〔(Profile )〕 and ''Tip Cat'' was adopted as a textbook for German students studying English.〔''Tip Cat'' by the author of ''Lil, Pen, Our Little Ann, Dear, etc. etc.'' Herausgegeben von Geh. Rat Prof. Dr. K Horst. Bielefeld und Leipzig: Velhagen & Klasing, 1930.〕 Her stories were described as "charming, pure, and wholesome," full of "humour and pathos."
For more than a decade after Evelyn Whitaker's death, her two most popular titles, ''Miss Toosey's Mission'' and ''Laddie'', continued to be reissued as gift books. Such little novels with religious or moral themes were given as Sunday School prizes, often as attendance awards. Such books were generally inexpensively made with inferior paper, ink, and illustrations but with attractive bindings.
