About the Author
E. B. White was born in New York in 1899 and died in 1985. He kept animals on his farm in Maine and some of these creatures crept into his books, such as STUART LITTLE which was recently made into a blockbusting film. He received many awards including the Laura Ingalls Wilder Medal in 1970, an award given every five years to authors who have 'made a substantial and lasting contribution to literature for children'.

Let the web unravel...5
This is a great read for young and old alike.It deals with love, loyalty, loss and, ultimately, death. Told in such an easy style, the story of Fern, Wilbur and Charlotte is truely timeless.

Not just for children3
I just recently read this book, at 21 as it came highly recommended by friends as a 'must read classic.' I thought it was a fantastic tale of friendship and didn't have a predictable everyone lives happily ever after ending.

I have heard more positive things about this story from adults than children, and think it is a story truly to be passed through the ages as parents read this much loved story from their childhood to their own children.

It should not just be dismissed as a 'kids book' as all ages can enjoy and identify with it's themes.

Classic story - a must read for kids!5
Read this book as a child, and have recently bought it for my 8 year old daughter. She loved it as much as I did. Its a lovely story, and a real classic. It doesnt have the usual "and everyone lived happily ever after" ending either, I think thats good as kids do need to see that that doesnt always happen.
I will certainly be keeping hold of this book in the hope that my 2 sons will read it too, when they're old enough.
