编辑推荐Amazon.com Review
Charlotte's Web. Stuart Little. The Trumpet of the Swan. What other books even approach these masterpieces of children's literature in humor, poignancy, and long-lasting influence? E.B. White's three award-winning classics have been brought together in a very welcome gift set for any young reader. The hardcover editions feature the original, oh-so-memorable pictures by Garth Williams for Charlotte's Web and Stuart Little, and wonderful, all-new illustrations by Caldecott Honor artist Fred Marcellino for The Trumpet of the Swan. White's ingenious blend of fantasy and the natural world has a timeless appeal. After reading Charlotte's Web, what child has not cried out to save a spider from a cruel, crushing heel: "Wait! That could be Charlotte!" Read them once or a hundred times--the memories will linger forever. (Ages 8 to 12) --Emilie Coulter --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
E.B. White, the author of twenty books of prose and poetry, was awarded the 1970 Laura Ingalls Wilder Medal for his children?s books, Stuart Little and Charlotte?s Web. This award is now given every three years "to an author or illustrator whose books, published in the United States, have, over a period of years, make a substantial and lasting contribution to literature for children." The year 1970 also marked the publication of Mr. White?s third book for children, The Trumpet of the Swan, honored by The International Board on Books for Young People as an outstanding example of literature with international importance. In 1973, it received the Sequoyah Award (Oklahoma) and the William Allen White Award (Kansas), voted by the school children of those states as their "favorite book" of the year.
Born in Mount Vernon, New York, Mr. White attended public schools there. He was graduated from Cornell University in 1921, worked in New York for a year, then traveled about. After five or six years of trying many sorts of jobs, he joined the staff of The New Yorker magazine, then in its infancy. The connection proved a happy one and resulted in a steady output of satirical sketches, poems, essays, and editorials. His essays have also appeared in Harper?s Magazine, and his books include One Man?s Meat, The Second Tree from the Corner, Letters of E.B. White, The Essays of E.B. White and Poems and Sketches of E.B. White.
In 1938 Mr. White moved to the country. On his farm in Maine he kept animals, and some of these creatures got into his stories and books. Mr. White said he found writing difficult and bad for one?s disposition, but he kept at it. He began Stuart Little in the hope of amusing a six-year-old niece of his, but before he finished it, she had grown up.
For his total contribution to American letters, Mr. White was awarded the 1971 National Medal for Literature. In 1963, President John F. Kennedy named Mr. White as one of thirty-one Americans to receive the Presidential Medal for Freedom. Mr. White also received the National Institute of Arts and Letters? Gold Medal for Essays and Criticism, and in 1973 the members of the Institute elected him to the American Academy of Arts and Letters, a society of fifty members. He also received honorary degrees from seven colleges and universities. Mr. White died on October 1, 1985.

老早就想买了。这套书写的很好，也不算贵了，毕竟是原版书。
原版套装。36开小开本，轻薄的报纸纸，读者的最佳版本。很满意。
这本书很不错哟。值得购买。
Cannot say how much I love this box set. I read stories to adults so that they will know what it feels like to be read to and then read to their children. When I brought the set to class these grown women got so excited at the prospect of reading Charlotte's Web. None of them had ever heard of The Trumpet of the Swan so of course we read that first. They were enthralled, Louis has a whole new set of fans. It's great to sell these three books together because some people have heard of some of the books but not all of them. Fantastic buy they got here in no time I'm so happy with it. Yay for Prime!
You can't go wrong with the works of E.B. White. I loved his stories as a child, and now I enjoy sharing them with my own children. So far, they are really enjoying them. This set has all the must-reads, and for a pretty good price. The paperbacks are a bit light, so I'm not sure how they'll stand up over the years, but for bedtime story reading, they work just fine. This is a wonderful addition to our library.
This is an excellent set of children tales, particularly the excellency of his renown author. However I'd would like to have this precious collection printed in a better quality paper. Let me know if you are looking forward to print this set in better quality paper it will add to its value.
Sincerely,
Ana Cardena
My 8 year old son is absolutely trilled He started reading charlotte's web first. beautiful case and books. we received the 3 books they are so pretty the drawings. I think it is a special set of books for any kid.
They're simply required books for any kid's library. Ultimately parents have only two real responsibilities to their kids to have them grow up to be successful humans: keep them as healthy as is reasonable, and teach them how to read. Everything else is a bonus.
These books are great ones to read to them, then great ones for them to read themselves.
