Celebrate the 50th anniversary of this classic novel with a special commemorative CD edition. "E.B. Whites' charming, bittersweet tales of friendship and adventure, including Stuart Little and Charlotte's Web have enchanted audiences young and old alike. Now White's beloved classic Charlotte's Web, a Newberry Honor book for 1953, comes to life in a delightful -- and completely unabridged -- recording read by the author himself."

 

"This is the story of a kindhearted girl named Fern who saves the life of a very small and very lucky pig named Wilbur. It is also the story of Charlotte A. Cavatica, the beautiful, resourceful gray spider who lives with Wilbur in the Barn and who becomes his best friend. Surrounded by his barnyard pals and cheered by Fern's visits, Wilbur enjoys each new day -- until the old sheep tells him what farmers do to pigs at Christmas. Suddenly Wilbur is terribly afraid, but faithful Charlotte promises to spin a clever plan to save her humble friend. And with the help of Templeton the rat, she does just that. " "As moving and eloquent now as when it was first written nearly fifty years ago, Charlotte's Web celebrates the sweetness of friendship even when it is tinged by loss."
