Summary
Celebrating 70 years of Charlotte’s Web - the timeless classic story of friendship and acceptance.
This is the story of a little girl named Fern who loved a little pig named Wilbur and of Wilbur’s dear friend, Charlotte A. Cavatica, a beautiful large grey spider. With the unlikely help of Templeton the rat, and a wonderfully clever plan of her own, Charlotte saves the life of Wilbur, who by this time has grown up to be quite a pig.
A time-honoured classic favourite.

Critics Review
An unusual and witty story which provides a gentle introduction to questions of mortality, Charlotte’s Web is a modern classic.
An unusual and witty story which provides a gentle introduction to questions of mortality, Charlotte’s Web is a modern classic. * BookTrust *
From grammar to the tenderness in which this story is delivered, E. B. White’s writing is so perfect… And Garth William’s muted illustrations are entirely without fault. Whether read aloud or solo, this is a book well deserving of it’s ‘classic’ status. * The Children’s Book Review *
An extraordinary story, exquisitely written, with unforgettable passages of dialogue and description, that confronts the dilemma of our relationship with farm animals. Witty, and in places, desperately sad this is a book where animals talk yet remain who they are, themselves. A book to make you cry. – Michael Morpurgo * Lovereading4kids *
