E.B. White: a Day in Literaure

E.B. White was born on July 11, 1899, in Mount Vernon, New York. White once said, "'Walden' is the only book I own, although there are some others unclaimed on my shelves. Every man, I think, reads one book in his life, and this one is mine. It is not the best book I ever encountered, perhaps, but it is for me the handiest, and I keep it about me in much the same way one carries a handkerchief - for relief in moments of defluxion or despair."
