Our next book group meeting is Wednesday, December 8th @ 1pm. What are we reading? ...any of E.B. White's childrens' books.
What surprised our group was finding out that White only wrote three childrens books; Stuart Little (1945), Charlotte's Web (1952), and Trumpet of the Swan (1970).
And what is White's connection to Maine? He summered here as a child and moved his family from New York to Maine where he lived for twenty-eight years on a small farm in North Brooklin, Maine. Check out this Mapquest map to locate North Brooklin in Hancock County, Maine.

We spent many nice summer vacations in Surry, Maine--right around the corner from Blue Hill, so to speak. Someone told me once that the Blue Hill Fair was the "real" fair that E. B. WHite used as a backdrop for Charlotte's Web. Is this true?
