Charlotte's Web by E. B. White

Charlotte's Web is the classic children' story by E B White.

"I don't want to die!  Save me, somebody!  Save me!"

The tale of how a little girl named Fern, with the help of a friendly spider, saved her pig Wilbur from the usual fate of nice fat little pigs.

An affectionate pig named Wilbur befriends a spider named Charlotte, who lives in the rafters above his pen. In this story of friendship, hardship, and the passing on into time, White reminds readers to open their eyes to the wonder and miracle found in the simplest of things.

E. B. White was born in New York in 1899 and died in 1985. He kept animals on his farm in Maine and some of these creatures crept into his books, such as STUART LITTLE which was recently made into a blockbusting film.  He received many awards including the Laura Ingalls Wilder Medal in 1970, an award given every five years to authors who have made a substantial and lasting contribution to literature for children.
