E. B. White

Second Tree from the Corner

White presents himself in the Foreword as a contributor to a collective editorial page, explaining why previously anonymous paragraphs now appear under his name. He reports retaining most original forms while making some revisions and name changes, and describes the collection as a mixture of essays, poems, stories, opinions and reports.

White’s own Foreword, with source and collaboration qualifications in the publication Note and copyright page. It is a self-account of this collection, not an independently established biography. · lines 230–292
