Legendary author and essayist E. B. White writes, "The essayist is a self-liberated man, sustained by the childish belief that everything he thinks about, everything that happens to him, is of general interest." Covering a large number of subjects, this classic collection features 31 of White's most memorable essays.

E. B. White is probably best known for Charlotte's Web, and next for Strunk and White's Elements of Style, the slim Bible for writers. These essays, mainly from his New Yorker days, cover an astonishing range of times and topics, but are all in that spare, elegant, unpretentious voice. His essay on New York is a love letter that resonates to this day, while his accounts of the homely details of farm life are vivid and oddly moving. Some of the political commentary is dated, but that's a minor theme and well worth browsing. The reader is pitch perfect. Highly recommend.

A beloved voice and master stylist

what else can I add but it's E.B.White!!! A person who loves words and knows how to put them together harmoniously.

Literary Treasure!!

Mr White can be brilliant and droll in many of his essays. However when he spoke of politics, the prose was pedantic and smarmy.
This was disappointing because much of the first and last essays in this collection were so enjoyable.

Quirky, pithy, profound. A treasure of delights both in topic and style. Thought-provoking and entertaining. I enjoyed it so much I’m gifting it to friends this Christmas.
