在朱克曼家的谷仓里，快乐地生活着一群动物，其中小猪威尔伯和蜘蛛夏洛建立了真挚的友谊。然而，一个丑陋的消息打破了谷仓的平静：威尔伯未来的命运竟然是成为熏肉火腿。作为一只猪，悲痛绝望的威尔伯似乎只能接受任人宰割的命运，然而，看似渺小的夏洛却说：“我救你。”于是，夏洛用自己的丝在猪栏上织出了被人类视为奇迹的网络文字，并彻底逆转了威尔伯的命运，终于让它在集市的大赛中赢得了特别奖项和一个安享天年的未来。可这时，蜘蛛夏洛的命运却走到了尽头……E·B·怀特用他幽默的文笔，深入浅出地讲了这个很有哲理意义的故事，关于爱，关于友情，关于生死……

Charlotte’s Web: Some Pig. Humble. Radiant. These are the words in Charlotte’s web, high up in Zuckerman’s barn. Charlotte’s spiderweb tells of her feelings for a little pig named Wilbur, who simply wants a friend. They also express the love of a girl named Fern, who saved Wilbur’s life when he was born the runt of his litter. E. B. White’s Newbery Honor Book is a tender novel of friendship, family, and adventure.

E.B.怀特（1899-1985）生于纽约蒙特弗农，毕业于康奈尔大学。多年来他为《纽约人》杂志担任专职撰稿人。怀特是一位颇有造诣的散文家、幽默作家、诗人和讽刺作家。对于几代美国儿童来说，他之所以出名是因为写的儿童读物《小斯图亚特》（1945）和《夏洛特的网》（1952）。一代又一代学生和作者熟悉他，因为他是《风格的要素》这本书的合著者（兼修订者）。该书是关于作文和惯用法的很有价值的小册子，由在康奈尔大学教过怀特英语的小威廉·斯特朗克教授撰写。散文《自由》于1940年7月首先由《哈泼斯》杂志发表。当时美国尚未加入反对纳粹的战争，世界正处于纳粹──苏联条约的时期，无论左派或右派都忽略了极权主义对民主的威胁。这篇散文收入怀特的文集《一个人的肉食》（1942）。

E. B. White,the author of such beloved classics as Charlotte’s Web, Stuart Little, and The Trumpet of the Swan, was born in Mount Vernon, New York. He graduated from Cornell University in 1921 and, five or six years later, joined the staff of The New Yorker magazine, then in its infancy. He died on October 1, 1985, and was survived by his son and three grandchildren.

Mr. White’s essays have appeared in Harper’s magazine, and some of his other books are: One Man’s Meat, The Second Tree from the Corner, Letters of E. B. White, Essays of E. B. White, and Poems and Sketches of E. B. White. He won countless awards, including the 1971 National Medal for Literature and the Laura Ingalls Wilder Award, which commended him for making a “substantial and lasting contribution to literature for children.”

During his lifetime, many young readers asked Mr. White if his stories were true. In a letter written to be sent to his fans, he answered, “No, they are imaginary tales... But real life is only one kind of life—there is also the life of the imagination.”
