Despite Charlotte's sophisticated vocabulary, she is still a spider who traps flies in her web and sucks their blood. For Charlotte's Web the research was close to home-at White's own farm in Maine.Īs a result, the barnyard of Charlotte's Web seems real in every detail, and so do the habits of its animals. White researched every detail that went into his three books for children: Stuart Little (1945), Charlotte's Web (1952), and The Trumpet of the Swan (1970).
But you may not know that the book's author, E. Charlotte's Web-the best-selling children's paperback of all time-was described by its author as "a story of friendship and salvation on a farm." If you've already read the book, you know about the friendship that grows between Wilbur, a runty pig, and Charlotte, a heroic spider.
