E.B. White (1899–1985) was an American author, best known for his beloved children's books, including Charlotte's Web, Stuart Little, and The Trumpet of the Swan. He was also a prominent essayist and a long-time contributor to The New Yorker magazine. Born in Mount Vernon, New York, White’s literary career spanned decades, during which he wrote works that became classics of American literature.
White's writing is characterized by its simplicity, warmth, and emotional depth, making it accessible to both children and adults. His stories often explore themes of friendship, courage, and the beauty of the natural world. Charlotte's Web, perhaps his most famous work, remains a cherished tale of love and sacrifice between a pig and a spider.
