Stuart Little

Published in 1945, Stuart Little became E. B. White's first children's story. It is the tale of a young New Yorker named Stuart Little who had the "shy, pleasant manner of a mouse" and in Garth Williams' illustrations does look like a mouse. Stuart is good natured, thoughtful, practical, modest and courageous and goes through many adventures while living with his family in New York City. Eventually, he sets out on a journey to find his friend Margalo, a bird saved by Stuart's family. According to White, the idea for this story came in a dream while he was sleeping on the train. The story was adapted by M. Night Shyamalan into a film, also called Stuart Little, which combines live-action with computer animation that defined the state-of-the-art in 1999. Its popularity ensured a sequel, Stuart Little 2, in 2002. The computer-animated Stuart was voiced by Michael J. Fox. A cartoon TV series resulted, produced for HBO Family. Julie Harris has recorded the original Stuart Little as an audiobook.

Quote

"When Mrs. Frederick C. Little's second son arrived, everybody noticed that he was not much bigger than a mouse."
