She was born Eleanor Stackhouse, and later married Francis Blake Atkinson, himself also an author. She taught in schools in both Indianapolis and Chicago. Chicago (ʃɪˈkÉ‘ËgoÊŠ is the largest City by population in the state of Illinois and the American Midwest of the United States. She wrote for the Chicago Tribune under the pseudonym "Nora Marks" during the late 1890s, and later became publisher of the Little Chronicle Publishing Company, Chicago; this published several of her own works, along with other educational books and the Little Chronicle, an illustrated newspaper intended for young children.

The story, however, is lovingly detailed; the descriptions of the geography may be somewhat confused, but effort was clearly made to get names correct, and to get across the atmosphere of the city. Unusually for someone with no connection to the country, her portrayal of the local accent was convincing and strongly phrased; this suggests it is possible she picked up the story directly from Scottish immigrants to the Midwest.

The book is often considered a classic, especially for children, and has been reprinted several times; it was the basis for the films Challenge to Lassie (MGM, 1949)[1] and Greyfriars Bobby: The True Story of a Dog (Disney, 1961),[2] although both of these postdated her death.
