About the Author

About The Author

E. B. White (1899-1985) was the American author of such beloved classics as Charlotte's Web, Stuart Little and The Trumpet of the Swan. Elwyn Brooks White was born in Mount Vernon, New York and graduated from Cornell University in 1921. E. B. White widely contributed his writing to The New Yorker and Harper's magazine. He won countless awards including the 1971 National Medal for Literature and the Laura Ingalls Wilder Award, which commanded him for making a "substantial and lasting contribution to literature for children." Some of his other books include One Man's Meat, The Second Tree from the Corner, Letters of E. B. White, Essays of E. B. White and Poems and Sketches of E. B. White. White also co-authored The Elements of Style, a classic American English writing style guide. During his lifetime many young readers asked Mr. White if his stories were true. In a litter written to be sent to his fans, he answered, "No, they are imaginary tales...But real life is only one kind of life - there is also a life of the imagination."
