A British writer and composer (1881–1965), Eleanor Farjeon is primarily remembered for her children's literature, including poems, stories, and plays. While not primarily a jazz or popular music figure, her musical compositions, often settings of her own verses, contributed to the broader landscape of English song and children's music during the early to mid-20th century. Her work, though not jazz-centric, reflects the melodic and narrative sensibilities of her era.
