Listen "White & Brown"
Episode Synopsis
If the names Elwyn Brooks White, or EB White, and Margaret Wise Brown sound unfamiliar, then you may recognize them better by the titles of their works. White’s repertoire includes novels such as Stuart Little and Charlotte’s Web, the first-place winner in a 2012 survey of the top one hundred children’s novels. In addition to his works of fiction, White contributed to The New Yorker magazine and co-authored the English language style guide, The Elements of Style. Brown, who was also a children’s author, wrote Goodnight Moon and The Runaway Bunny, which earned her the epithet “the laureate of the nursery” for her literary achievements.
