What this book is about
Wilbur the pig faces a grim fate until a clever spider named Charlotte A. Cavatica begins weaving miraculous words into her web above his pen—SOME PIG, TERRIFIC, RADIANT. Their friendship anchors this warm, funny, and deeply moving story about the natural cycles of life, the power of friendship, and what it means to truly love someone. E.B. White's masterpiece remains one of the most perfect introductions to both literature and mortality.
