Bound in real cloth with two coloured foils and sprayed coloured edges, this deluxe edition is a perfect gift or collector's item.

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.

Rezensionen

Semirdzhyan's muted watercolor illustrations, featuring expressive faces, delightful scenery, and wispy spiderwebs, along with the simple-but not overly short-sentences on each page make a charming introduction to this tale of cherished farm friends. More than 70 years since their debut, Charlotte remains a devoted friend, and Wilbur is still "some pig." - Michelle Proper, Booklist
