       E.B is the Author of Many children's   books his books his books include: Charlotte's Web,Stuart Little and The Trumpet of the Swan.
I have read two of these books,and i have enjoyed them very much. E.B White graduated from Cornell University in 1921. His Stories show hope in many different ways he is very inspiring to most of his readers.
E.B White has won many awards, including the 1971 National Medal for Literature and the Laura Ingalls Wilder Medal. Surprisingly he found writing very difficult even though he is a great writer. He loved writing Poetry the most. His inspiration for Stuart Little Was a dream “Many years ago,” E.B. White would say, “I went to bed one night in a railway sleeping car, and during the night I dreamed about a tiny boy who acted rather like a mouse. That's how the story of Stuart Little got started.” His inspiration for Charlotte's Web was a spider at work “I had been watching a big grey spider at her work and was impressed by how clever she was at weaving. Gradually I worked the spider into the story that you know, a story of friendship and salvation on a farm.” E.B White was a very remarkable writer.
