There he wrote for the college newspaper, the Cornell Daily Sun. After he graduated, he worked as a reporter for the Seattle Times in 1922 and 1923. As he put it, he found that he was ill-suited for daily journalism, and his city editor had already reached the same conclusion, so they came to an amicable parting of the ways. In 1927 he became a writer for The New Yorker magazine, where he became well known. He wrote columns for Harper’s magazine from 1938 to 1943, which resulted in an anthology entitled One Man’s Meat and published in 1942. White’s career had already brought him much fame, but he was about to try something new. His nieces and nephews always asked him to tell them stories, so he began writing his own tales to read to them. In 1945 he started publishing these stories as books. All three, Stuart Little (1945), Charlotte’s Web (1952) and The Trumpet of the Swan (1970), are now considered classics of children’s literature. His best essays appear in three collections: One Man’s Meat (1944), The Second Tree from the Corner (1954) and The Points of My Compass (1962). In 1959, White edited and updated The Elements of Style. This handbook of grammatical and stylistic dos and don’ts for writers of American English had been written and published in 1918 by William Strunk Jr., one of White’s professors at Cornell. White’s rework of the book was extremely well received. The volume is a standard tool for students and writers, and remains required reading in many composition classes. In 1977 he was awarded a Pulitzer Prize for his lifetime’s work. White died on October 1, 1985 at his farm home in North Brook
