Charlottes Web Puffin Clothbound Classics

Charlotte’s Web is E. B. White’s beloved children’s novel about Fern, a caring young girl; Wilbur, the runt pig whose life she saves; and Charlotte A. Cavatica, the wise grey spider who becomes Wilbur’s closest friend. When Wilbur faces the prospect of slaughter at the farm, Charlotte spins words into her web—beginning with “Some Pig”—to make him famous and save his life. Templeton, the self-interested rat, reluctantly helps with Charlotte’s plan. Tender, funny, and emotionally honest, the story explores friendship, loyalty, selflessness, life and death, and the lasting influence of love. The Puffin Clothbound Classics edition is a collectible hardback edition featuring Garth Williams’s classic illustrations; the 70th-anniversary edition was published in 2022.
