Charlotte's Web by E.B. White

A magical story of life on the farm starring Wilbur the pig and Charlotte the spider, Charlotte’s Web is considered one of the best children’s novels of all time. You probably already know this middle-grade classic by E.B. White—but did you know that White wrote the story from a north-facing office at his saltwater farm in Brooklin, Maine (which Yankee visited in a memorable 2017 “House for Sale” column)? Surrounded by the barn, sheds, and fields that housed sheep, geese, chickens, and pigs, the author didn’t have to look far for inspiration. Delve into this book once more to enjoy an entertaining trip to the county fair and a delightful tour of New England’s rural past. —Katrina Farmer, Yankee associate editor

This beloved book by E. B. White, author of Stuart Little and The Trumpet of the Swan, is a classic of children's literature that is "just about perfect." This high-quality paperback features vibrant illustrations colorized by Rosemary Wells!

Some Pig. Humble. Radiant. These are the words in Charlotte's Web, high up in Zuckerman's barn. Charlotte's spiderweb tells of her feelings for a little pig named Wilbur, who simply wants a friend. They also express the love of a girl named Fern, who saved Wilbur's life when he was born the runt of his litter.

E. B. White's Newbery Honor Book is a tender novel of friendship, love, life, and death that will continue to be enjoyed by generations to come. This edition contains newly color illustrations by Garth Williams, the acclaimed illustrator of E. B. White's Stuart Little and Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House series, among many other books.

Whether enjoyed in the classroom or for homeschooling or independent reading, Charlotte's Web is a proven favorite.
