The classic, much-loved story by E. B. White and beautifully illustrated by Garth Williams. This is an ideal book to read aloud and share with all the family. One spring morning a little girl called Fern rescues a runt and names him Wilbur. But then Wilbur is sent to live on a farm where he meets Charlotte, a very clever and very beautiful large grey spider. They become best friends and, when Wilbur is faced with a dreadful fate - the butcher's chop! - Charlotte must find a very clever way to save him. |
