Charlotte’s Web is a beloved children’s novel by E. B. White, first published in 1952. It tells the heartwarming and poignant story of a pig named Wilbur and his friendship with a wise and compassionate spider named Charlotte. When Wilbur’s life is in danger, Charlotte uses her web-spinning abilities to save him by writing words like “Some Pig” and “Terrific” in her web, astonishing the humans and turning Wilbur into a local celebrity. The book explores themes of friendship, life and death, loyalty, and the quiet power of kindness.
The original illustrations by Garth Williams—famous for his work in Stuart Little and Little House on the Prairie—are delicate and expressive, capturing the gentle spirit of the story and the emotional nuances of its characters. His detailed pen-and-ink drawings bring the barnyard to life and have become inseparable from the identity of the book.
Charlotte’s Web is considered one of the greatest American children’s books of the 20th century and continues to be widely read, loved, and taught across generations.
