　　An affectionate sometimes bashful pig named Wilbur befriends a spider named Charlotte who lives in the rafters above his pen. A prancing playful bloke Wilbur is devastated when he learns of the destiny that befalls all those of porcine persuasion. Determined to save her friend Charlotte spins a web that reads "Some Pig" convincing the farmer and surrounding community that Wilbur is no ordinary animal and should be saved. In this story of friendship hardship and the passing on into time E.B. White reminds us to open our eyes to the wonder and miracle often found in the simplest of things.

作者簡介

E. B. White, the author of such beloved classics as Charlotte's Web, Stuart Little, and The Trumpet of the Swan, was born in Mount Vernon, New York. He graduated from Cornell University in 1921 and, five or six years later, joined the staff of The New Yorker magazine, then in its infancy. He died on October 1, 1985, and was survived by his son and three grandchildren.
Mr. White's essays have appeared in Harper's magazine, and some of his other books are： One Man's Meat, The Second Tree from the Corner, Letters of E. B. White, Essays of E. B. White, and Poems and Sketches of E. B. White. He won countless awards, including the 1971 National Medal for Literature and the Laura Ingalls Wilder Award, which commended him for making a “substantial and lasting contribution to literature for children.”
During his lifetime, many young readers asked Mr. White if his stories were true. In a letter written to be sent to his fans, he answered, “No, they are imaginary tales . . . But real life is only one kind of life—there is also the life of the imagination.”

Garth Williams began his work on the pictures for the Little House books by meeting Laura Ingalls Wilder at her home in Missouri, and then he traveled to the sites of all the little houses. His charming art caused Laura to remark that she and her family “live again in these illustrations.”
