The first link was the Elements of Style without E.B. White. Not the best one. The second link is Strunk and White. Neither had anything to do with childrens’ stories; White took English from Prof. Strunk and later edited Strunk’s Elements of Style instruction book about writing.

I should have explained better; neither book is a childrens’ book. White did of course write childrens’ books but the Elements of Style book is not a childrens’ book, just an excellent writing instruction book, short, concise, easy to grasp and follow and amusing.
