E. B. White on Birds

“An unhatched egg is to me the greatest challenge in life.”

For bird and literature lovers alike, this collection of writings on birds by legendary author E. B. White is paired with joyous and bold art by distinguished illustrator Charley Harper.

More than fifty years of collected letters, essays, and poems from the matchless author E. B. White reveal a lifelong love for birds, and some wisdom for living well.

With endless wit and an eye for the smallest and most telling of details, E. B. White drew out pure wonder for the natural world from the lives of birds—from documenting the daily joys and tragedies of a chicken’s existence, to questioning the nesting decisions of pigeons, to pondering of the potential of a single egg.

Paired with brilliant, striking illustrations from the esteemed environmental conservationist and artist Charley Harper, the accounts of the feathered friends between these pages serve as a timeless reminder of the little moments and the wonders that make life rich.
