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. 

This is a story of the magic of childhood on the farm.  Children will be entranced with Charlotte the spider, Wilbur the pig, and Fern, the little girl who understood their language.

The delightful black and white drawings by Garth Williams are full of the wonderful detail that children love and have a warm-hearted, timeless appeal – a truly perfect complement to Charlotte's Web.
