One Man's Meat

By: E. B. White

Narrated by: Malcolm Hillgartner

In print for over 50 years, One Man's Meat continues to delight listeners with E. B. White's witty, succinct observations on daily life at a Maine saltwater farm.

Too personal for an almanac, too sophisticated for a domestic history, and too funny and self-doubting for a literary journal, One Man's Meat can best be described as a primer of a countryman's lessons and a timeless recounting of experience that will never go out of style.

Surprisingly Applicable to Contemporary Life

E.B. White was much more than the author of Charlotte's Web. His essays for adults are as sharp, funny, and perceptive today as they were in the first years of World War II, when Americans were also trying make up their minds who their enemies were and how to make a living. This is a nice reading, well worth a listen.

Delightful, couldn't get enough

I read this for book club and thoroughly enjoyed the lovely descriptions and tempo. highly recommend.

A must ...

I fall far from the tree when it comes to my mother’s unrelenting live for the written word! I now understand why she adores this author!

Wonderful and Worth a Listen

I've just discovered EB White and I'm hooked! I buying everything he ever wrote, In book form, Audible and Kindle. My favorite so far is this and his Dog book. I had to order a copy from Half Price books across Country and can't wait to get my hands on it. He won all the awards even receiving the Presidential Metal of Freedom for his writings.
If you love dogs and farm animals you will love his writings. I haven't read his childrens books yet. I love his adult style of storytelling. Those are hard to find so get them while you can. Keep them for your children and Grandchildren too.

I wish more people would read this book.

this book is very entertaining and memorable. part philosophy and part journal, with wonderful dry sense of humor.
it gives a window into life in America in 1940;such a short time ago really, but so much has changed.
