Louis is a Trumpeter Swan who came into the world lacking a voice. When his father explained to him that he was different from other cygnets, Louis felt scared. His father, however, promised to help.
Sam Beaver, a boy who loved all wild things, took Louis to school, where he learned to read and write. This was a help, but it did not solve his major problem: he was in love with the beautiful swan, Serena, and she spurned him because he was defective. And that was when Louis’s father, the old cob, did a difficult thing—he put honor aside and stole a trumpet so his son would be able to woo his love.
Louis’s determination to become a trumpeter and pay off his father’s debt takes him far from the wilderness he loves. But he succeeds and wins the swan of his desiring. E. B. White’s wonderful story of Louis’s struggles to express the music in his heart—with Edward Frascino’s beautiful wash drawings—is a paean to courage, to freedom, to love—and to swans everywhere.
 
About STUART LITTLE
and CHARLOTTE’S WEB
 
“These two titles appear to be headed for literary immortality in our times and are the works for which Mr. White has been awarded the 1970 Laura Ingalls Wilder Award. The continuing and almost universal response of children to his two fantasies … is the real tribute to the genius of E. B. White. The medal acknowledges and memorializes this fact.”
—Chairman, 1970 Laura Ingalls
Wilder Award Committee, Children’s
Services Division, American Library
Association

“Surely there is no other author whose new book one would reach forwith such sure anticipation. No one else could bring off, so marvelously well, that extraordinary blend of real wildlife and nature and the utterly fantastic. And the beautiful details, the sweetness of relationships—poignant without this time being sad— also make you know that this is the author of Charlotte’s Web.”
—Virginia Haviland
