Elinor Glyn
|
|
(Elinor Sutherland, 1864–1943, m. Clayton Glyn 1892) Romantic novelist, remembered chiefly because of an anonymous rhyme inspired by a tiger skin which features in numerous scenes of passion in her book Three Weeks (1907): 'Would you like to sin/ With Elinor Glyn/ On a tiger skin?/ Or would you prefer/ To err/ With her/ On some other fur?'.
