Charlotte’s Web by E.B. White

A magical story of life on the farm starring Wilbur the pig and Charlotte the spider, Charlotte’s Web is considered one of the best children’s novels of all time. You probably already know this middle-grade classic by E.B. White—but did you know that White wrote the story from a north-facing office at his saltwater farm in Brooklin, Maine (which Yankee visited in a memorable 2017 “House for Sale” column)?

 Surrounded by the barn, sheds, and fields that housed sheep, geese, chickens, and pigs, the author didn’t have to look far for inspiration. Delve into this book once more to enjoy an entertaining trip to the county fair and a delightful tour of New England’s rural past.   —Katrina Farmer, Yankee associate editor

Millions of readers around the world have fallen in love with Wilbur, the piglet who longs for a friend; Fern, the farm girl who saves him from an untimely death; and Charlotte, the clever spider who weaves her praises of Wilbur into her web. For over seven decades, E. B. White’s story—paired with tender illustrations by Garth Williams—has brought readers of all ages to tears with laughter, grief, and the enduring love of a friend.
