E. B. White, 1952
A pig, a spider, and a barnyard full of voices: a children's book about friendship, words, and the saving grace of ordinary attention.
E. B. White
E. B. White wrote the book on a Maine saltwater farm, where a real barn and its animals supplied the sounds and smells he gave Wilbur.
Feels like tenderness, friendship and morality.
What contentment looks like when it includes the rats and the manure.
It was the best place to be, thought Wilbur, this warm delicious cellar, with the garrulous geese, the changing seasons, the heat of the sun, the passage of swallows, the nearness of rats, the sameness of sheep, the love of spiders, the smell of manure, and the glory of everything.
