“Wilbur never forgot Charlotte. Although he loved her children and grandchildren dearly, none of the new spiders ever quite took her place in his heart. She was in a class by herself. It is not often that someone comes along who is a true friend and a good writer. Charlotte was both.”
― E.B. White, Charlotte's WebToday is the 60th anniversary of one of my all-time favourite books, Charlotte's Web, so I dusted off my copy and found this adorable inscription from my seventh birthday. I can only imagine how many times I've read this creased and torn copy.
I think I may have been in college the first time I read it to one of my little sisters who absolutely loved the book. I think both my sisters did. It's one of those truly great children's stories for all of us.
ReplyDeleteI agree. I've been meaning to reread it for a long time! I have a little cousin who I'm sure would love it. Maybe I'll read it to him!
