Book summary

This thorough examination of E.B. White's CHARLOTTE'S WEB includes the complete text of the story, samples from White's draft manuscripts, cross-references to other relevant writings by White, letters between White and his editor, and general literary/cultural commentary on the book. The text also demonstrates how deeply involved White was in all aspects of the book--from selecting the endpapers to advice for the illustrator, Garth Williams, on precisely how Charlotte should be portrayed. Reflecting White's meticulous attention to detail, this work also reveals the intense research he did to make his barnyard characters, particularly Charlotte, as realistic as possible. Illustrated with drawings, photographs, and reproductions of White's handwritten notes.
