This is Newbery Honor book in 1953 형제들 중에서 가장 작다는 이유만으로 태어나자마자 죽을 뻔한 돼지 윌버는 펀의 도움으로 간신히 살아남는다. 아름다운 자연과 맛있는 먹이가 있음에도 불구하고 윌버가 외로운 것은 진정한 친구를 만나지 못했기 때문이다. 어느 날 윌버에게 찾아온 거미 샬롯은 세상에서 가장 다정한 말 한마디를 건넨다. "내가 네 친구가 되어 줄게" 윌버는 새 친구와 함께 행복한 나날을 보낸다. 크리스마스에 자기가 햄으로 만들어질 것이라는 엄청난 소식을 듣기 전까지는... This is the story of a kindhearted girl named Fern who saves the life of a very small and very luckly pig named Wilbur. It is also the story of Charlotte A. Cavatica, the beautiful, resourceful gray spider who lives with Wilbur in the barn and who becomes his best friend. Surrounded by his barnyard pals and cheered by Fern's visits, Wilbur enjoys each new day-until the old sheep tells him what farmers do to pigs at Christmas. Suddenly Wilbur is terribly afraid, but faithful Charlotte promises to spin a clever plan to save her humble friend. And with the help of Templeton the rat, she does just that. As moving and eloquent now as when it was first written nearly fifty years ago, Charlotte's Web celebrated the sweetness of friendship, even when it is tinged by loss.
