A tale of unconditional, selfless love, its beauty lies in its simplicity. Yet underneath its basic exterior lurks a memorable cast of characters and an unforgettable lesson about life.

Among its recognizable cast members are: a stuttering goose, who serves as a constant reminder to Wilburâ??s imminent demise; Templeton, the incorrigible rat, whose base instinct for food makes him an easy target for bribery; Wilbur, the "Terrific," "Radiant," "Humble" pig, whose natural desire for companionship earns him the most unlikely of loyal friends; and Charlotte herself, an ordinary gray spider whose devotion transcends the realm of the extraordinary.

In a dreary barn cellar, the most illuminating of relationships begins, where one random act of kindness saves a lonely pigâ??s life and one relationship is forged that even death itself cannot sever.

Charlotteâ??s Web teaches its lesson well, enchanting both young and old alike. And, in a day and age where itâ??s "every man for himself," itâ??s sometimes nice to lose yourself once again in a timeless classic that never grows old in its basic message of love.
