Annotation:
The classic and still authoritative grammar guide gets a quirky, lovely makeover by acclaimed artist Maira Kalman, whose flat, colorful artwork illustrates several of the sentences used as examples in the book. A two-page spread featuring a couple observing a lush vista and a traveler walking along a mountain trail demonstrates the sentence, "The best way to see a country, unless you are pressed for time, is to travel on foot," while a painting of a bored, disgusted-looking royal court perfectly punctuates "The ceremony was both long and tedious."

Author Bio
E. B. White
Elwyn Brooks White was one of the original writers for "The New Yorker" magazine. Over the course of several years he contributed satirical sketches, poems, essays, and editorials. He wrote his first book for children, STUART LITTLE, after he dreamed of a tiny boy who acted like a mouse. His 1952 classic, CHARLOTTE'S WEB, is actually set on the Maine farm where White and his wife lived. After a sabbatical of 18 years, he published his third and final novel for children, THE TRUMPET OF THE SWAN. E. B. White won many awards for his writing, including the 1963 Presidential Medal of Freedom, the 1970 Laura Ingalls Wilder Medal, and the 1971 National Medal for Literature. He also received the National Institute of Arts and Letters' Gold Medal for Essays and Criticism and was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters.
