Morning Has Broken: A Biography of Eleanor Farjeon by Annabel Farjeon PDF
Eleanor Farjeon was an endearing, eccentric, gifted writer. She wrote about her own childhood; she wrote about the poet Edward Thomas, whom she loved; and she wrote countless plays, poems and stories, many of which achieved international recognition. But of Eleanor Farjeon the woman, little is known. Her background was extraordinarily lively, for she grew up in the family of a best-selling popular novelist, and was from the start surrounded by the worlds of literature and the theatre, peopled with such larger-than-life figures as the legendary American actor Joseph Jefferson, Ellen Terry, and Henry Irving. And then there were her three remarkable brothers: the brilliant musician Harry, who was to exert so potent an influence on her life; Herbert, later to be her collaborator on many theatrical ventures; and the ever dependable Joe. The closeness between the four young Farjeons was to bring Eleanor much joy, but it was also to prove a barrier to her acceptance of the adult world, and to leave her with a lifelong capacity for attracting people who responded to her almost child-like warmth and sometimes took terrible advantage of it. But through all the vicissitudes of a life unselfishly given to the needs of others Eleanor Farjeon continued to write, and to progress towards a serene old age in her Hampstead cottage, where she was revered as one of the most influential writers for the young in this century.
Eleanor Farjeon once wrote a hymn which became a huge favourite in its time, MORNING HAS BROKEN, which was later to be revived by a pop singer. It is an appropriate title for this affectionate, entertaining, and definitive biography by her niece, Annabel Farjeon. Equally appropriate is the jacket painting of Hampstead by John Constable, for much of Eleanor’s life was spent in and around Hampstead, and it is fitting that her biography should be published in the Hampstead Millenium year.
