Summary: 5 Stars

This really is a lovely story! It begins when a young girl, Fern adopts a runt pig after persuading her father to not kill it. She names him Wilbur. Soon Fern's father says that Wilbur must be sold to a friend of the families. Reluctantly Fern agrees but goes to see him every weekend. Wilbur is depressed in his new home until he makes a new friend Charlotte who is a spider. Wilbur soon discovers he is to be fattened up and eaten at Christmas. He is terrified but Charlotte devises a plan, she spins a web and the next morning Wilbur stands under and his owner discovers it. This isn't just any old web on the web it says:'Some Pig' people are astonished soon Wilbur is famous each week there is a new message . In the Summer his owner takes him to a pig show Wilbur wins best pig! That night though after making her sack and filling it with eggs Charlotte dies. Yet Wilbur had been saved he wasn't eaten! When Charlotte's children are born they all leave except for three who stay and keep Wilbur company. When they die their children stay and so on. I would recommend this book to absolutely anyone who enjoys reading!

Summary of Charlotte's Web

Beloved by generations, Charlotte's Web and Stuart Little are two of the most cherished stories of all time. Now, for the first time ever, these treasured classics are available in lavish new collectors' editions. In addition to a larger trim size, the original black-and-white art by Garth Williams has been lovingly colorized by renowned illustrator Rosemary Wells, adding another dimension to these two perfect books for young and old alike.

Whether you are returning once again to visit with Wilbur, Charlotte, and Stuart, or giving the gift of these treasured stories to a child, these spruced-up editions are sure to delight fans new and old. The interior design has been slightly moderated to give the books a fresh look without changing the original, familiar, and beloved format. Garth Williams's original black-and-white line drawings for the jacket of Stuart Little have also been newly colorized by the celebrated illustrator Rosemary Wells. These classics return with a new look, but with the same heartwarming tales that have captured readers for generations.


An affectionate, sometimes bashful pig named Wilbur befriends a spider named Charlotte, who lives in the rafters above his pen. A prancing, playful bloke, Wilbur is devastated when he learns of the destiny that befalls all those of porcine persuasion. Determined to save her friend, Charlotte spins a web that reads "Some Pig," convincing the farmer and surrounding community that Wilbur is no ordinary animal and should be saved. In this story of friendship, hardship, and the passing on into time, E.B. White reminds us to open our eyes to the wonder and miracle often found in the simplest of things.
