"E.B. Whites' charming, bittersweet
tales of friendship and adventure, including Stuart
Little and Charlotte's
Web have enchanted audiences young
and old alike. Now White's beloved classic Charlotte's Web,
a Newberry Honor book for 1953, comes to life in a delightful
-- and completely unabridged -- recording read by the author
himself."
"This is the story of a kindhearted
girl named Fern who saves the life of a very small and very lucky
pig named Wilbur. It is also the story of Charlotte A. Cavatica,
the beautiful, resourceful gray spider who lives with Wilbur
in the Barn and who becomes his best friend. Surrounded by his
barnyard pals and cheered by Fern's visits, Wilbur enjoys each
new day -- until the old sheep tells him what farmers do to pigs
at Christmas. Suddenly Wilbur is terribly afraid, but faithful
Charlotte promises to spin a clever plan to save her humble friend.
And with the help of Templeton the rat, she does just that. "
"As moving and eloquent now as when
it was first written nearly fifty years ago, Charlotte's Web
celebrates the sweetness of friendship even when it is tinged
by loss."
