E. B. White

Elwyn Brooks White was born in 1899 in Mount Vernon, New York, the youngest of six children. At Cornell University he edited the student newspaper and studied with Professor William Strunk Jr. After working as a reporter and in advertising, he joined the new New Yorker magazine in 1925, writing essays and editorial comments for decades. In 1929 he married Katharine Angell, the magazine's fiction editor. In 1938 they moved to a farm in North Brooklin, Maine, where White kept animals, and his essays about country life appeared in Harper's magazine. His first children's book, Stuart Little (1945), is about a mouse born to a human family. Charlotte's Web (1952), inspired by a spider in his barn, tells of a pig named Wilbur saved by a clever spider, and it became one of the best-loved American children's books. He also wrote The Trumpet of the Swan. He revised Strunk's guide to writing as The Elements of Style. He received a special Pulitzer citation in 1978 and died in Maine in 1985.
