The Second Tree from the Corner
The Second Tree from the Corner, collection of literary miscellanea by E.B. White, published in 1954. Most of these essays, poems, and stories originally appeared in The New Yorker magazine, with which White was associated from 1927 to the end of his career. In this book White treats modernity and progress with skepticism and writes of the past with nostalgia.
