This is the story of a little girl named Fern who loved a little pig
named Wilbur - and of Wilbur's dear friend Charlotte A. Cavatica, a
beautiful large grey spider who lived with Wilbur in the barn. With the
help of Templeton, the rat who never did anything for anybody unless
there was something in it for him, and by a wonderfully clever plan of
their own, Charlotte saved the life of Wilbur, who by this time had
grown up to be quite a pig.
