“E. B. White created some of the most endearing and lovable characters in children’s literature. His stories of Stuart Little and Charlotte’s Web resonate and will endure over decades. This carefully researched and delicately written biography by Michael Sims reverently documents White’s life from his adventurous childhood loving farm animals, to being one of the first writers for the newly established New Yorker Magazine, to his realization that he had a magical touch for writing children’s books —ones so touching that adults enjoy them as well. And, that is what I think I’ll do right now; buy Charlotte’s Web, and read it again!”—Linda, Grass Roots Books & Music, Corvallis. Buy The Story of Charlotte’s Web from Grass Roots Books & Music.
