Amazon.com Review
Charlotte's Web. Stuart Little. The Trumpet of the Swan. What other books even approach these masterpieces of children's literature in humor, poignancy, and long-lasting influence? E.B. White's three award-winning classics have been brought together in a very welcome gift set for any young reader. The hardcover editions feature the original, oh-so-memorable pictures by Garth Williams for Charlotte's Web and Stuart Little, and wonderful, all-new illustrations by Caldecott Honor artist Fred Marcellino for The Trumpet of the Swan. White's ingenious blend of fantasy and the natural world has a timeless appeal. After reading Charlotte's Web, what child has not cried out to save a spider from a cruel, crushing heel: "Wait! That could be Charlotte!" Read them once or a hundred times--the memories will linger forever. (Ages 8 to 12) --Emilie Coulter --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

<div class="productDe*ionWrapper">E.B. White, the author of
twenty books of prose and poetry, was awarded the 1970 Laura
Ingalls Wilder Medal for his children’s books, Stuart Little
and Charlotte’s Web. This award is now given every three
years "to an author or illustrator whose books, published in the
United States, have, over a period of years, make a substantial and
lasting contribution to literature for children." The year 1970
also marked the publication of Mr. White’s third book for children,
The Trumpet of the Swan, honored by The International Board
on Books for Young People as an outstanding example of literature
with international importance. In 1973, it received the Sequoyah
Award (Oklahoma) and the William Allen White Award (Kansas), voted
by the school children of those states as their "favorite book" of
the year.
 
Born in Mount Vernon, New York, Mr. White attended public
schools there. He was graduated from Cornell University in 1921,
worked in New York for a year, then traveled about. After five or
six years of trying many sorts of jobs, he joined the staff of
The New Yorker magazine, then in its infancy. The connection
proved a happy one and resulted in a steady output of satirical
sketches, poems, essays, and editorials. His essays have also
appeared in Harper’s Magazine, and his books include One
Man’s Meat, The Second Tree from the Corner, Letters of E.B. White,
The Essays of E.B. White and Poems and Sketches of E.B.
White.
In 1938 Mr. White moved to the country. On his farm in Maine he
kept animals, and some of these creatures got into his stories and
books. Mr. White said he found writing difficult and bad for one’s
disposition, but he kept at it. He began Stuart Little in
the hope of amusing a six-year-old niece of his, but before he
finished it, she had grown up.
For his total contribution to American letters, Mr. White was
awarded the 1971 National Medal for Literature. In 1963, President
John F. Kennedy named Mr. White as one of thirty-one Americans to
receive the Presidential Medal for Freedom. Mr. White also received
the National Institute of Arts and Letters’ Gold Medal for Essays
and Criticism, and in 1973 the members of the Institute elected him
to the American Academy of Arts and Letters, a society of fifty
members. He also received honorary degrees from seven colleges and
universities. Mr. White died on October 1, 1985.
