E.B. White
I found this book on one of the shelves at the farmhouse where I grew up. I knew White from Charlotte's Web and Stuart Little, books I'd loved as a child, but it wasn't until I read his essays that I started to fully appreciate White's skill. Although most were written 50 years or so before I was born, it was thrilling to read (in such beautiful prose) about a small farm that seemed similar to my own.
