"...an intimate portrait of White, enhanced by his son Joel's readings...[and]

should be prized..."

"This sampler, complete with comments, is read
by White's son, Joel (who died in 1997). ...it is a listening experience that
cannot be replicated."
-Library Journal "Listeners who know White from his
writings for children will delight in this collection of works for adults. The
classic "A Letter to the IRS" is by itself well worth the price of admission."
-Kliatt
