The paper is mainly employed to analyze and interpret E. B. White' sthree works on the basis of text analyzing within my ability.Fairy Tale is a conception without clear definition in Chinese ChildLiterature, worsen by the continuous invasion of foreign words,therefore it is crucial to clarify the difference between Fairy Tale andFantasy. In chapterâ… , firstly, we are intended to make a clear definitionof the characteristic of E. B. White' s three works; then we go to makean interpretation of an important concept The Secondary World, which iscritical to Fantasy and to the understanding of White' s three works;finally we will analyze the realism (which means an attitude rather thana mere writing method to White) of White' s writing style in brief.In chapterâ…¡, from the viewpoint of metaphor and symbolism, we tryto make an full understanding of the Secondary World which was createdby White with his realism style.
