E. B. White on Dogs

E. B. White (1899-1985) is best remembered for Charlotte's Web and The Elements of Style. Columnist for The New Yorker for over half a century, White became America's most accomplished and revered essayist during that span. In E. B. White on Dogs, his granddaughter and manager of his literary estate, Martha White, has compiled the best and funniest of his essays, poems, letters, and sketches depicting more than a dozen of White's canine companions. Some previously unpublished photographs from the E. B. White Estate show the family dogs, from the first collie to various labs, Scotties, dachshunds, halfbreeds, and mutts, all well loved. This is a book for readers and writers who recognize a good sentence and a masterful turn of phrase; for E. B. White fans looking for more from their favorite author; and for dog--lovers who may not have discovered the wit, style, and compassion of this most distinguished of American essayists.
