"E.B. White's writing is uncomplicated, elegant and clear. Some of these essays are dated now but his gift of prose does not just give you the sense of time and place, you as the reader are living it with him. I have borrowed this book from the library several times over the years and I have just stopped to read one or two of the essays while looking for another book but I think it's time for me to own a copy. This collection of essays made me realize how fortunate it was that he wrote books for children. It's a rare and gifted person that can manage the range and depth that he is able to create in his body of work."
"I have to buy this book. I will read it over and over and over. My sister-in-law told me he would be my new best friend, and she was completely right. White writes beautifully about a full, happy life. He's smart, he's funny, and he lives on a farm. I recommend this book to anyone interested in essays or just looking for a good nonfiction read. His essays about New York, being young and working on a boat, the death of a pig, and the coon tree come to mind immediately."
"One that I always like to turn to when I want something pithy to read, but don't want to commit to something long. Great personal essays. Even though most of them were written half a century ago, they seem very timely. The issues he writes about (politics, the environment, nuclear disarmament)"
