Cavatica, a beautiful large grey spider who lived with Wilbur in the barn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the help of Templeton, the rat who never did anything for anybody unless there was something in it for him, and by a wonderfully clever plan of her own, Charlotte saved the life of Wilbur, who by this time had grown up to quite a pig.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow all this comes about is Mr. White's story. It is a story of the magic of childhood on the farm. The thousands of children who loved Stuart Little, the heroic little city mouse, will be entranced with Charlotte the spider, Wilbur the pig, and Fern, the little girl who understood their language.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe forty-seven black-and-white drawings by Garth Williams have all the wonderful detail and warmhearted appeal that children love in his work. Incomparably matched to E.B. White's marvelous story, they speak to each new generation, softly and irresistibly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cb\u003eE. B.
