E. B. White Rules OK - By: Laverne, 16 Oct 2007 
Charlotte's Web is probably E. B. White's most famous book but this collection of his essays shows what a brilliant & wide-ranging humourist he was. James Thurber regarded White as his teacher in some ways & you can see why from this collection. I'm so pleased to have it, it's funny, critical - in the nicest possible way, kindly, & utterly charming. What a lovely man. What a lovely book.
Strunk's student becomes the teacher - By: , 01 Sep 1999 Wow. This book is a treasure chest; I resorted to folding the corners of dozens of pages so I could easily relocate some of its gems.
You will hate reaching the end of this book, but you will come away with renewed powers to observe life's little treasures of daily experience.
Seeing the world through the eyes of E. B. White is an inspiring privelege, & this book enables that. If books were cookies, this one would win a whopping big prize.
The best writer to ever walk the earth. No exceptions. - By: , 10 Jul 1999 Although many, if not most, know E.B. White for his children's books, it is in his essays & letters where he truly shines. Although many will equate or compare his work with Twain or even Thurber, White reallly is in a class by himself. What Ruth is to baseballl, what Gretzky is to hockey, E.B. White is to American Letters.
