STUART LITTLE

Notes

According to White, the idea for this story came in a dream while he was sleeping on the train. Many people were expecting a second book; however, it was never written. The reason for such an abrupt ending was White's hypochondria. He thought he was going to die soon, so he ended the book in order to get it published before his death.

In 2005 a book was published to celebrate the sixty years of Stuart Little. The book was hardbound.
