NICE LITTLE ANALYSIS OF "DEATH OF A PIG" by EB WHITE

Another note on the story, and its tie-in to CHARLOTTE'S WEB (or not):

Since E. B. White published Death of a Pig in 1948,^[5] an account of how he failed to save a sick pig (which had been bought in order to be fattened up and butchered), Charlotte’s Web can be seen as White attempting "to save his pig in retrospect."^[6] However, White's overall motivation for the book has not been revealed and he has written, "I haven't told why I wrote the book, but I haven't told you why I sneeze, either. A book is a sneeze."^[7]

I SEE NOTHING IN SPACE AS PROMISING AS THE VIEW FROM A FERRIS WHEEL...

Very excited to announce our Spring reading selection: THE ESSAYS OF E.B.WHITE.

I will also have his letters and biography in tow, to enhance things a bit. And may I recommend that you purchase STUART LITTLE for dessert?
