“Charlotte’s Web, was written by E.B. White and published in 1952. When praising this novel in the New York Times, fellow author Eudora Welty described it as ‘a book about friendship on earth, affection, and protection, adventure and miracle, life and death, trust and treachery, pleasure and pain, and the passage of time…just about magical in the way it is done.’ Welty’s description touches on the themes, heart-felt storytelling, and beloved characters of a classic that continues to capture the minds and imaginations of children.”
