From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia Eleanor Clymer, born Eleanor Lowenton (1906 – 2001), was a writer of children's books, best know for The Trolley Car Family (1947). She graduated from the University of Wisconsin in 1928 with a degree in English. Between the years of 1943 and 1983 she published 58 books, including The Tiny Little House, My Brother Stevie, and Hamburgers–and Ice Cream for Dessert.
Through much of her life she was a resident of Katonah, New York and an active member of the nearby Unitarian Universalist fellowship. In 1980 she was awarded the Rip Van Winkle award by the School Library Media Specialists of Southeastern New York for outstanding contributions to children's literature.
Ms. Clymer died in 2001 at the age of 96. Her son, Adam Clymer, is a journalist with the New York Times.
