The Trumpet of the Swan | E. B. White
post image

"Whether you like him or not, he must be treated with respect."

The boys and I are constantly delighted by the stories of E.B. White. A trip to the library isn't complete without checking out one of his audiobooks (charmingly read by the author himself). Today's excerpt seemed especially timely. I love when a children's author can state an important truth in such a way that even an adult can understand it. :)

Lmstraubie I listened to this for the 1st time about 2 months ago. I didn't realize it was him until the end. I think you will really enjoy Some Writer ☺ 8y
mcipher I didn't know he read them!! Next road trip. 😊 He is such an amazing author. 8y
KCorter @lmstraubie I think I prefer the audio because his voice makes the stories even more cozy and heartwarming. I actually didn't even know about Some Writer until Litsy! I immediately added it to my TBR. I think I'll pick it up when we finish The Trumpet of the Swan. :)

KCorter @mcipher Listening to Charlotte's Web (and Harry Potter) is our road trip tradition. I think The Trumpet of the Swan will be added to the rotation. :) 8y

The Trumpet of the Swan | E. B. White
post image

"These were the pleasantest days of Sam's life, these days in the woods, far, far from everywhere - no automobiles, no roads, no people, no noise, no school, no homework, no problems, except the problem of getting lost. And of course, the problem of what to be when he grew up. Every boy has that problem."

KCorter This is exactly how I felt (and still feel) about camping. There is a kind of magic in isolation. I felt most myself when mundane distractions faded away and I was left with my most basic needs and desires. Maybe it's an introvert thing, but I find time alone necessary to my survival. 8y
EloisaJames I think there are few better sounds that the click of the door as it closes after the last of my (beloved) family members, giving me a day to myself. 8y
KCorter Same here, @EloisaJames. :) 8y
