E.B. White’s True Inspiration For ‘Charlotte’s Web’

Michael Sims writes about E.B. White’s life in Maine in the book, “The Story of Charlotte’s Web: E.B. White’s Ecccentric Life in Nature and the Birth of an American Classic.” He describes how White achieved that peculiar state of grace so singular to childhood: a restless curiosity about the natural world and a frank acceptance that perhaps it cannot be fully understood.

Sims spoke with Radio Boston's Meghna Chakrabarti in July.
