A lovely collection of popular stories by E.B. White that follow its various animals protagonists on wonderful adventures into the world and through improbable journeys. Touching on subjects such as the inevitability and beauty of life, the transformative power of friendship, and the specialness of being different from others despite the hardships that come with it, White makes these stories not only enjoyable but imparts great wisdom upon its readers. With all this in mind, it's no wonder how these stories won their classical status and will continue to entertain readers for generations to come.

It's a story many of us have read, it may have been when we were young, older or with our own children. It's funny and sad, fun and you learning some thing you may have never known about animals.

As much as there was of this book that I do remember, there were parts that I completely forgot about. One particular part I enjoyed was Wilbur (pig) attempting to make a web. It's something I'm glad I reread and enjoy every bit of it.

I wrote separate reviews on Stuart little and charlottes web.

However, I just finished the trumpet of the swan and it was by far my favourite of the three. This story was just absolutely amazing in all the ways possible and I am so very happy I read it! ❤️❤️
