Onward and Upward in the Garden by Katherine White

Onward and Upward in the Garden by Katherine White

This book came out in 1979.

After Katherine separated from her first husband, she married E.B. White, who was the author of three beloved children’s books: Stuart Little (1945), Charlotte’s Web (1952), and The Trumpet of the Swan (1970).

In the early 1930s, Katherine and E.B. bought a farmhouse in North Brooklin, Maine.

By the decade's end, they had moved there from New York.

Katherine White began writing garden pieces for The New Yorker in 1958.

Onward and Upward in the Garden (1979) is her only book, edited and published posthumously by her husband, E.B. White.

Gardeners will especially enjoy E.B. White's tenderly written preface to his gardener wife.
