White, E. B. Stuart Little. Illustrated by Garth Williams. New York: HarperCollins Publishers, 1999. First Edition of the Special Read-Aloud Edition, with complete number line '10 - 1.' Quarto format, bound in glossy pictorial boards with matching dust jacket priced $19.95 / $29.95 CAN (unclipped). A clean, tight, bright copy showing only light rubbing to jacket edges and a small closed tear near top rear panel; interior fine, crisp and unmarked. This oversize edition was produced for family or classroom reading, retaining Garth Williams's original pen-and-ink drawings with generous margins for easier shared viewing. The copyright page credits the renewed 1945 text and 1973 illustrations; manufactured in China for HarperCollins, 10 E 53rd St., New York. A charming collectible presentation of one of America's most beloved children's classics. Elwyn Brooks White (1899-1985) was an American essayist and humorist best known for his contributions to The New Yorker and for his timeless children's novels Stuart Little (1945), Charlotte's Web (1952), and The Trumpet of the Swan (1970). A Cornell graduate and co-author of The Elements of Style, White combined gentle wit with moral clarity, creating stories that explore friendship, courage, and wonder through language of exceptional grace. Garth Williams (1912-1996) was a British-born American artist celebrated for his warm, finely detailed illustrations that defined mid-century children?s literature. Trained at the Royal College of Art in London, he emigrated to the United States after World War II and became the visual voice of classic works by E. B. White, Laura Ingalls Wilder, and George Selden. His gentle realism and expressive linework gave enduring charm to Stuart Little, Charlotte's Web, and the Little House series, making him one of the most beloved illustrators of the 20th century.…
