E. B. White

It is impossible to imagine growing up without having read the classic books of E.B. White, including Charlotte’s Web, Stuart Little, and Trumpet of the Swan. Here is a fascinating look into the life and writing process of White, who began his writing career at the New Yorker. Suffering from depression throughout most of his career, White preferred animals to people and nature to polite society. Through his writing, White became one of the perennial favorites the world over, finally winning the Pulitzer Prize for lifetime achievement in writing in 1978.
