If You Love CHARLOTTE’S WEB

A childhood favorite that lives up to rereading in adulthood is E.B. White’s Charlotte’s Web.

How did White create this masterpiece, which is also the best-selling children’s book in U.S. history?

Michael Sims addresses that question in a slim but fascinating book, The Story of Charlotte’s Web. (Walker, 6/7). Several reviews have appeared recently, but the one that addresses the book’s appeal most clearly is Heather McAlpins’s in both Salon and The Barnes and Noble Review; “…Sims brings visceral attention to this beloved classic, highlighting its many joys.”
