Description

A stunning gift edition of the modern classic story Charlotte's Web, starring the iconic characters Charlotte and Wilbur, published to celebrate Puffin's 85th anniversary.

Celebrating 85 years of Sparking Imaginations

A beautiful clothbound edition of the much-loved modern classic Charlotte's Web. Bound in real cloth with two coloured foils and sprayed coloured edges, this deluxe edition is a perfect gift or collector's item. Part of an eight-book set published to mark the 85th anniversary of Puffin Books. With a brand-new foreword from Jordan Lees.

This is the story of a little girl named Fern who loved a little pig named Wilbur and of Wilbur's dear friend, Charlotte A. Cavatica, a beautiful large grey spider who lives with Wilbur in the barn. With the help of Templeton the rat, who never did anything for anybody unless there was something in it for him, and a wonderfully clever plan of her own, Charlotte saves the life of Wilbur, who by this time had grown up to be quite a pig.

Published over seventy years ago, with original illustrations by Garth Williams, Charlotte's Web has become an all-time favourite children's story.

About the Author

E. B. White (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'. Garth Williams (Illustrator) Garth Williams was born in 1912 and became one of American's best-loved illustrators. His magical drawings have brought to life many memorable children's book characters, including Fern, Wilbur, and Charlotte in Charlotte's Web and the adventurous little mouse, Stuart Little. Garth Williams died in 1996, at the age of 84.
