“E.B. White writes terrific letters. . . . They prove once and again that reading someone else’s mail can be a lot more fun than reading one’s own.” — William McPherson, Washington Post
“This collection, addressed to many people, will speak to many more.” — John Updike, The New Yorker
"White is remembered as one of the old New Yorker’s formative stylists, and any comprehensive anthology of American humor or prose is likely to include one of his graceful essays about small matters that made his uneasy, Down East." — New York Times Book Review
"[E. B. White’s] essays, his letters, his quips and his squibs are simply beautiful... The essays show him to have an eloquent and lifelong devotion for freedoms, the letters an eloquent and lifelong devotion to friends." — Louisville Courier Journal
"Readers are rewarded with portraits of White at all stages of his life... but the most amazing thing to emerge from the letters, if read sequentially, is the love story between White and his wife, Katharine." — Minneapolis Star Tribune
"Authors’ letters are always interesting if you want to learn more about writers, obviously, and White’s offer more insight than most." — Tampa Tribune
[E. B. White] had a knack for describing in the plainest detail what it meant to be alive... We all know White for the light his approach threw upon the animal kingdom. As these letters prove, he extended that grace to humans, too. — Philadelphia Inquirer
"The joy of reading these letters is thus not in the events that they recount nor in what we find out about White’s personality but rather in the craftsmanship of their prose and the wisdom of their content... how lucky we all are to have this revised and expanded edition that enables us to be fellow members of the audience." — Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"The Letters of E. B. White, Revised Edition shows the beloved writers growing old with all the grace and wit one might suspect." — Newsday
