From Wikipedia,
Edith Farmiloe (1870–1921) was a British children's book author and illustrator, active from 1895 to about 1905.
Life
Edith Caroline Parnell was born in Gillingham, Kent, England, in 1870. Her father was Colonel Hon. Arthur Parnell (1841–1914) and her mother was Mary Anne Dunn.
On 7 April 1891, Edith married Venerable William Farmiloe, then vicar of St Peter's in Great Windmill Street, Soho, London. She was living with her husband at 124 Ashley Gardens, opposite Westminster Cathedral in 1901 and was by then listed in the census as an "artist'". In 1905, Rev. Farmiloe and his wife moved to South Hackney where he became vicar of St. Augustine's overlooking Victoria Park.
The Standard described All the World Over (1898) as "a pretty volume, brightly illustrated, representing funny children in the costumes of many countries."The Pall Mall Gazette called Rag, Tag, and Bobtail (1989) "one of the few books which deserve a place on the shelves of every (nursery) library." In its review of Piccalilli (1900), the same newspaper wrote that Farmiloe "has an exact eye for the humour and pathos of the children of the street, and her drawings are amazingly true to life, fresh, piquant, and convincing." A review in The Graphic described Chapel Street Children (1900) as "a book which will delight children of any age," adding that Farmiloe is "second to none in her delineations of Cockney gutter imps."
