This is a truly lovely little book that I have been reading to brush up on my grammar and writing style. It was written by William Strunk Jr., an English professor during WWII and then enlivened by E.B. White, who was his student. It is excellent if you need to learn how to make every word really speak, be concise and poignant. The beautiful thing about the version I have is that there are 57 whimsical little painted illustrations by Maira Kalman to add to the prose. I highly recommend this gem.
