Katharine and E.B. White: An Affectionate Memoir de Russell, Isabel - 1988

W. W. Norton & Company., 1988. First edition. First printing.. Hard cover. Fine. No dust jacket. Clean, unmarked.. 1 Cloth and paper over boards. 269 p. Gold spine titles. Audience: General/trade. Memoir of the 8 years Isabel Russell served in a secretarial role for author E.B. White and Katharine White, a veteran of The New Yorker staff, in their retirement home in North Brooklin, Maine. These were to be the writers' last years, and Russell proved to be a keen, affectionate, and honest observer of many moments in their lives. Elwyn Brooks White had been born in 1899, and himself had birthed such classics in youth literature as 'Charlotte's Web'. Katharine, in his later years, managed access requests to him from colleagues and fans in the literary world, and was eagerly writing her own memoir. Both had predeceased this volume.
