Garth Williams, American Illustrator

Lovers of classic children's literature cherish the narratives of Stuart Little, the Little House series, Charlotte's Web and more, and these beloved characters came so vividly to life through Garth Williams' illustrations. A new biography of the artist, written by literature scholars Elizabeth K. Wallace and James D. Wallace, explores his journey, from the postwar suburbanization that heavily influenced his work to details of his private life.
