What to expect
Legendary author and essayist E. B. White writes, “The essayist is a self-liberated man, sustained by the childish belief that everything he thinks about, everything that happens to him, is of general interest.”
Covering a large number of subjects, this classic collection features thirty-one of White’s most memorable essays.
Critics Review
u201cSome of the finest examples of contemporary, genuinely American prose. Whiteu2019s style incorporates eloquence without affection, profundity without pomposity, and wit without frivolity or hostility.u201d
u201cMalcolm Hillgartner is the perfect narrator for this magnificent display of Whiteu2019s restrained literary styleu2026Hillgartneru2019s smooth, cultured baritone and practiced delivery allow us to yearn unselfconsciously for the past. He seems as at home with Whiteu2019s homage to Walden as he is with Whiteu2019s heartfelt farewell to the Ford Model T. He conveys embarrassment in recounting Whiteu2019s boyish adventures and earnestness in imparting the wisdom of age. Great listening.u201d
