Elwyn Brooks White (July 11, 1899, Mount Vernon, NY – October 1, 1985, North Brooklin, Maine) was a leading American essayist and author of children's literature.
A liberal free-thinker, White often wrote as an ironic onlooker, exploring the complexities of modern society, the unique character of urban and rural life, the often baleful influence of technology, and the emerging international system. He also served as a columnist for Harper's Magazine from 1938 to 1943.
