In the Words of E. B. White by E B White

This distillation of the wit, style, and humanity of E. B. White offers readers a delightful selection of quotations, selected and annotated by E. B. White's granddaughter and literary executor, Martha White.

EB. White is one of those writers you are liable to meet again and again in the course of a reading life, each time wearing a different expression.... Now all those Whites have been brought together in the pages of In the Words of E. B. White, an anthology of quotations edited by his granddaughter Martha White. In her introduction, Martha White offers an affectionate sketch of her grandfather's career, including her own memories of the 'lifelong sense of wonder' he brought to all his endeavors.... In the Words of E. B. White offers a perfect introduction, or reintroduction, to a writer truly in the American grain.

-- Adam Kirsch * Barnes & Noble Review *

Seasoned White fans will delight in this charming array of wit, and first-time readers are to be envied the pleasure of getting to know this remarkable writer. Highly recommended.
