You have that backwards. White wrote all of "Charlotte's Web" and much of "Elements of Style".



Charlotte's Web is also a literary masterpiece - definitely reread as an adult if you only remember it from your childhood. The Audible is narrated by EBW himself.


I just started re-reading Charlotte's Web after reading this comment a few hours ago, and wow. What a charming and elegant book!

I had no idea the book was so funny:

“Attention, please!” he said. “I will repeat the message. Will the party who addressed me at bedtime last night kindly speak up. Please tell me where you are, if you are my friend!”

The sheep looked at each other in disgust.
