Charlotte's Web
Another tearjerker, Charlotte’s Web is a classic children’s book that will undoubtedly stay popular for years to come. Both a coming-of-age tale and an unflinching introduction to the cycle of life, the story goes far beyond the spinning web of Charlotte and her simple friend, Wilbur.
Inspired by a pig E.B. White once tried to save from the butcher’s block, Charlotte’s Web is now one of the most famous children’s books of all time. Though White was better known for his essays in his younger years—he was a writer for The New Yorker—today, Charlotte’s Web is by far his best-known book. His other children’s books, Stuart Little and The Trumpet of the Swan, are also classics in their own right.
About :
Charlotte's Web is a children's literature book by American author E.B. White and illustrated by Garth Williams. It was published October 15, 1952 by Harper & Brothers. The novel tells the story of a cattle pig named Wilbur and his friendship with a spider in the barn named Charlotte. When Wilbur is in danger of being slaughtered by the farmer, Charlotte writes letters praising Wilbur (like "some pigs") in her net in order to persuade the farmer to let him live.
Written in a dry, low white style, Charlotte's Web is a classic in children's literature, and is fun for adults and kids alike. Describing the experience of swinging on a rope swing on the farm is an often-cited example of rhythm in writing, where the speed of a camel reflects the motion of the swing. In 2000, Publishing Weekly listed the book as the best-selling children's paper book of all time.
Charlotte Network was adapted into an animated film by Hanna-Barbera Productions and Sagittarius Productions in 1973. Paramount released a direct-to-video sequel, Charlotte Network 2: Wilbur's Great Adventure, in the United States in 2003 (Universal released the film internationally). A live-action film version of E.B. White's original story was released in 2006. A video game based on this adaptation was also released in 2006.
