English language
Published Jan. 22, 2003 by Puffin.
Charlotte's Web is a book of children's literature by American author E. B. White and illustrated by Garth Williams; it was published on October 15, 1952, by Harper & Brothers. The novel tells the story of a livestock pig named Wilbur and his friendship with a barn spider named Charlotte. When Wilbur is in danger of being slaughtered by the farmer, Charlotte writes messages praising Wilbur (such as "Some Pig") in her web in order to persuade the farmer to let him live.

E. B. White died in 1985, but it was quite a treat to hear him narrate this 50th anniversary audiobook. I'm guessing it's a port of White's 1980 cassette recording. The only thing missing are the illustrations by Garth Williams.
