Famous for his columns in Harper's and The New Yorker, revered for his essays in One Man's Meat and The Elements of Style, and immortalized through his classic children's books Charlotte's Web and Stuart Little, E.B. White and his way with words have become legendary. During the last year of his life, his son, Joel White (1931-1997) visited him daily. These bedside hours were often spent with Joel reading excerpts from White's works aloud for them to enjoy together. Here, Joel reads some of their favorites including essays, letters and poems, plus a personal introduction that draws listeners closer to the life of E.B. White. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.
