Eleanor Constance Bor née Rundall (1898 – 1957) was a British writer who is remembered for her book The Adventures of a Botanist's Wife, which describes her travels in remote parts of north-eastern India and elsewhere.
She was born in Moffat, Scotland to Constance and John William Rundall, clergyman and headmaster of St Ninian's School.
[2] In her early thirties she lived in Assam for two years[3] before marrying her husband, the botanist Norman Bor, in Calcutta in 1931.
For Eleanor Bor, four years in Dehradun were mainly spent writing and drawing as she and her husband did not enjoy the social life of a British hill station.
[3] During this time they twice went to Lahaul "journeying deep into the mountains over high passes to the snowline"[5] on ponies, and Bor wrote three books, apparently never published.
