E.B. White


Elwyn Brooks "E. B." White (July 11, 1899 – October 1, 1985) was an American writer. He was a contributor to The New Yorker magazine and a co-author of the English language style guide, The Elements of Style. which is commonly known as "Strunk and White". He also wrote beloved classics for children including: Charlotte's Web, Stuart Little and The Trumpet of the Swan.
Charlotte's Web was voted the top children's novel in a 2012 survey of School Library Journal readers.
In "E.B. White on Dogs," the famed author and essayist discusses man's best friend. 

“The possession of a dog today is a different thing from the possession of a dog at the turn of the century, when one’s dog was fed on mashed potato and brown gravy and lived in a doghouse with an arched portal. Today a dog is fed on scraped beef and Vitamin B1 and lives in bed with you.”
