He had just been visited by a white mouse.

ANSWER "Stuart Little" was published in 1945. In a 1973 letter to students of children's literature, White wrote, "There was no preparation for writing 'Stuart Little.' I did no research. The story we written, episode by episode, over a period of about twelve years, for home consumption. I had nephews and nieces who wanted me to tell them a story, and that's the way I went about it. Book publication was not in my mind." During the time that he was writing "Stuart Little," he had said that the idea came to him in a dream while he was sleeping on the subway. In a 1949 letter to Morris Bishop, White wrote, "The last couple of chapters in "Stuart Little' were no dream, they were a nightmare: I wrote them doggedly and while under the impression that I was at death's door and should catch up on loose ends."

Where did EB white get the idea to write Charlotte's web?

Well-known for his magazine articles and essays, Elwyn Brooks White (1899-1985) was apparently inspired by his niece Janice Hart White to write Stuart Little in 1945. Although it was not an astounding success at the time, he followed this with Charlotte's Web in 1952. It was not until 1970 that White wrote his third children's novel, which was The Trumpet of the Swan.Beginning in the 1960s, White's books gained a much larger following, and both Stuart Little and Charlotte's Webare now considered classics. All three novels have had film adaptations.

When did the book Stuart little happen?

Stewart Little, alternate spelling Stuart Little was evidentally written some time in or prior to the fifties. So, it is at least sixty years old! The original book is nothing like the rather action-packed and violent live-action/animation film. There is no love interest in the book, and most of Stuart"s activities are pretty tame, participating on a model sailboat in a yacht race in Central Park, for example. Kind of pushed the little guy wants to see the outside world idea- not in itself a bad plot device. It was adapted into a TV cartoon some time in the sixties, which was aired on prime time.
