Product Description

Synopsis
The text of E.B. White's classic tale is accompanied by notes discussing how book was written, White's life and work, and other subjects, and by related documents.

From the Author
Though it looks easy, writing "Charlotte's Web" was tough!
Some people think writing for children is easy! The splendid writer, E. B. White took this great novel through at least eight manuscript drafts. In the "Annotated," I try to trace his steps through these drafts--hoping that will shed light on the creative process of a writer who seems to write so effortlessly. I also consider pretty closely White's relationship with his great illustrator, Garth Williams. I'm glad the "Annotated" is now out in affordable paperback. I hope it might be useful to parents, to librarians, to classes or workshops for elementary teachers. The "Annotated" sheds light, I think, not merely on one singular book, but on how art is made. I've occasionally talked to or with groups of pareents, teachers, or librarians--and have learned much from their insights too. All best to you. Peter Neumeyer, 45 Marguerita Rd., Kensington, CA 94707 --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent companion to the original book., 7 May 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Annotated "Charlotte's Web" (Paperback)
I purchased this book several years ago to give me more insight into E.B. White's classic novel. Every time I read and re-read the notes, rewrites and history of this touching story for children, I find myself learning so much more about the writing style of this fabulous author. The photographs of White's farmhouse add texture and depth to the story and my first grade students appreciated that he, too, had to make revisions on his work! A wonderful resource for anyone interested in children's literature.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Quite a Good Story", 9 April 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Annotated "Charlotte's Web" (Paperback)
This story is suitable for all ages. It is for the old and the young ones.I like this book mainly because the characters are humorous and interesting, the setting of the story are not too much and last of all it is full of emotions. Happiness, sorrow, excitement and it is also a matter of life and death.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is great, it tells the classic story of friendship, 10 Jun 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Annotated "Charlotte's Web" (Paperback)
I enjoyed reading Charlotte's Web as a child and now I enjoy reading the book to my children and students. I think part of the reason this book has remained one of my favorites is because of the classic friendship between Wilbur and Charlotte. Both characters demonstrate an unselfish kind of love that is demonstrated from the time they meet. As a mother I want to teach my children the valuable life lesson of being a good friend and I think this story teaches that lesson in a non-didactic fashion. Charlotte's Web will forever be a classic in my heart.
