E•B•怀特（E. B. White，1899—1985），“二十世纪最伟大的美国随笔作家”。作为《纽约客》主要撰稿人的怀特一手奠定了影响深远的“《纽约客》文风”。怀特对尘世上的一切都怀着“面对复杂，保持欢喜”的态度，其人格魅力与文字修养一样山高水长。除了他终生挚爱的随笔之外，他还为孩子们写了三本书：《精灵鼠小弟》、《夏洛的网》与《吹小号的天鹅》，同样被誉为“二十世纪读者最多、最受爱戴的童话”，成为儿童与成人共同喜爱的文学经典。

怀特的文字直白世俗，但沾染着饱满的情调，算是老一辈美国人最精粹的风范。鲁迅先生也曾考虑过如何改造雕饰过分的汉语，怀特所昭示的未必不是一条路子。

田园生活随笔占绝大多数篇幅，其实我更爱“城市”的部分。
