E. B. White
Elwyn Brooks White (
July 11,
1899,
Mount Vernon, New York –
October 1,
1985, North
Brooklin, Maine) was a leading
American essayist,
author,
humorist,
poet and literary stylist."No one can write a sentence like White,"
James Thurber once said of his crisp and graceful writing style. A liberal free-thinker, White often wrote as an ironic onlooker, championing freedom of the individual. His writing ranged from satire to textbooks and children's fiction. His writers'
style guide,
The Elements of Style, remains a well-regarded text; his three
children's books,
Charlotte's Web,
Stuart Little, and
The Trumpet of the Swan, are regarded as classics of the field.
