What can be more engaging than finding a book, fiction or nonfiction or poetry, that says things you already know (or maybe you know only the outline of but is filled in with delicious or unsavory details) and says those things with artistry of language?
Joy recently gave me a book like that and I'm entirely enchanted by it. We all know Charlotte's Web for sure, but this book focuses on E.B. White's love of dogs. I'll be writing more about that book along the way, but if you are a dog lover, go out and find yourself a copy!
White was the age of my grandfather, Papa, born in 1899. He died in 1985, and this book is compiled of his essays and edited by his granddaughter, Martha White. Whether you love mongrels and mutts or pure-bred uppity dogs, you'll love this book.
