"The story of the man behind the most beloved children's book of the twentieth century, and the real-life spiders and pigs that inspired him. [] While composing what would become his most enduring and popular book, Charlotte's Web, E. B. White was obeying that oft-repeated maxim: 'Write what you know.' Helpless pigs, silly geese, clever spiders, greedy rats--White knew all of these characters in the barns and stables where he spent his favorite hours as a child and as an adult. Painfully shy, White once wrote of himself, 'This boy felt for animals a kinship he never felt for people.' Nonetheless, that tens of millions have been so moved by Charlotte's Web, and by White's other classics, testifies to his deep understanding of the human condition. [] Bringing readers into intimate contact with E. B. White's world, Michael Sims chronicles White's animal-rich youth and dreams of being a writer; the vibrant early years of The New Yorker, where urban nature was his ever-present topic; the discovery of the farm in Maine where he and his wife, acclaimed New Yorker editor Katharine S. White, would live and where his imagination would flourish; his fascinating scientific research into how spiders spin webs, lay eggs, and live in the world; his friendship with his legendary editor, Ursula Nordstrom; and the luminous creative process that led to the publication of his masterpiece. [] By refining the raw ore of his childhood in Mount Vernon, New York, in the first decade of the twentieth century, White translated his own passions and contradictions, delights and fears, into a book that would be read the world over. THE STORY OF CHARLOTTE'S WEB illuminates the life of an American literary icon, and will add richness and appreciation for anyone who has loved--or has yet to read--this cherished classic." [jacket copy] "THE STORY OF CHARLOTTE'S WEB is a paean to a great work and a window into the uniquely gifted man who created it."--Christian Science Monitor. "A fine stylist, Mr. Sims portrays these scenes with a beauty and an economy of language that would make the co-author of The Elements of Style proud."--Wall Street Journal. "An affectionate biography . . . Packed with the same kind of sensory detail its subject reveled in, this account is an honorable addition to the literature of letters."--Kirkus Reviews. Pristine hardcover w/sharp corners & crisp deckle edges, a square & tight binding, wrapped in a fine & handsome jacket. See also my listing RUB1499, E. B.
