Description
Book Introduction
Newbery Honor Award winner
Wilbur and Charlotte's shining friendship transcends prejudice.
Charlotte's Web is a story about animals, including Wilbur the pig and Charlotte the spider, who were born on a small country farm.
The reason this story, which lacks grand scale or outrageous adventures, is considered an unforgettable work by countless readers is because it goes beyond the prejudice that pigs are dirty and spiders are disgusting, and shows the friendship between the main characters, Wilbur and Charlotte, that is more valuable and shining than anyone else's.
Born the smallest and most insignificant pig, Wilbur, who was looked down upon as a worthless and dirty being, becomes friends with Charlotte, a spider who appears cruel and bloodthirsty.
Charlotte renames Wilbur "The Wonderful Pig," "The Dazzling Pig," and "The Humble Pig" to save him from becoming a Christmas ham.
Thanks to him, Wilbur saves his life and learns how precious he is.
“Why were you so nice to me? I don’t deserve it.
“I haven’t done anything for you.”
(...) “You were my friend.
That alone is a great thing. (...)” _From the text
Becoming a friend to someone lonely without any prejudice, trying to understand them because you are their friend, and helping them without expecting anything in return.
The friendship between Wilbur and Charlotte provides warm comfort and inspiration to all modern people living in harsh realities.

Mr. Zuckerman said.
"well.
I still don't know.
Don't do it, honey, we have a revelation.
A mysterious revelation.
A miracle happened on our farm.
I'm talking about the large spider's web in the doorway of the lower level of the barn, just above the pigsty.
When Ruby went to feed the pigs this morning, the fog rolled in and she saw the spider web.
You know how you can see spider webs clearly in the fog.
But right in the middle of that spider web were the words 'Great Pig' written.
The letters were woven right into the spider web.
It was actually part of that spider web, honey.
I know because I went down there and saw it.
It was written so clearly, 'Great Pig'.
It is an undeniable fact.
A miracle happened here on this land, right here on our farm.
A revelation has appeared.
"Our pigs are above average," he said.
Mrs. Zuckerman said.
"Well, I think you're a little bit wrong.
"I think our spider is more than average."

Wilbur gathered his emotions and spoke again.
'Why were you so nice to me? I don't deserve it.
I haven't done anything for you'
Charlotte answered.
'You were my friend.
That alone is a great thing.
I wove a web because I liked you.
Anyway, anyway.
What does it mean to live? To be born like this, to live like this for a while, and to die like this.
All spiders make a living by setting traps and eating flies, but there are some things you don't know.
Maybe I was trying to elevate my life a little by helping you.
'Everyone's life is like that to some extent,' Wilbur said, after gathering his emotions.

Publisher's Review
A beautiful story of friendship between Charlotte the spider and Wilbur the pig.
Wilbur, a pig who almost died as soon as he was born.
Wilbur barely survived but was lonely.
You get a new friend named Spider Charlotte.
Wilbur spends happy days with Charlotte.
Until he heard that he was going to be a ham for Christmas!
Hundreds of children's books from all over the world are translated into Korean every year.
Most of the works that have already won prestigious literary awards have already been verified for their artistic quality and popularity in their respective countries.
Even so, there are not many works that are loved by Korean readers.
It is equally difficult and rare to move readers across different borders, cultures, and emotions.
Charlotte's Web, which has been in print for over 20 years and has been reprinted over 100 times, is still being introduced to many young readers and is proof itself of the birth of a 'new classic.'
Charlotte's Web, considered one of the best children's books ever published in the United States, was first published in Korean by Sigong Junior in 1996, and has been consistently loved since the revised edition was published in 2000.
Additionally, the Korean edition surpassed its 100th printing in January 2016, and Charlotte's Web has become a true bestseller, having been selected as a must-read for Korean elementary school students.
This second revised edition retains the distinctive flavor of E.B. White's prose and features a clean cover befitting a classic.
Learning Values for a Better Life from Farm Animals
In an age where everything appears and disappears quickly, where does the power of Charlotte's Web, which has been consistently sought after by countless readers for a long time, come from?
This is because it vividly conveys serious themes and messages necessary for our lives, such as the cycle of life and true friendship, through the stories of animals with distinct personalities.
Additionally, it places fair weight on the depiction of emotions and movements between people and animals.
The fact that Fun, who understands the speech of animals, is not considered a noisy child (although his mother worries that he is not like other children), and that the spider's inscription of letters on its web with the help of a mouse is not considered a 'fantastic' story but a 'mysterious' force of nature, are all due to the author's delicate intention.
And it is a special ability that only those who understand children very well, who grow up freely moving between reality and fantasy, can have.
The numerous research papers and articles on Charlotte's Web that are still being written are a tribute to him.
Elwyn Brooks-White and Garth Williams: A Collaboration of Masters
Elwyn Brooks White, a legendary American essayist, boasts a writing style that is simple, concise, yet profound, to the point that he even published a book on sentence structure.
In Charlotte's Web, White's sentences are simple and poetic, captivating readers with sensory expressions that describe the changing seasons, smells, and tastes.
Additionally, illustrator Garth Williams' delicate and soft pen drawings realistically capture the characters' individual and lively appearances.
In this way, the two masters complemented each other's strengths with their own, creating a story richer than any other work, and this is another driving force that enabled Charlotte's Web to rise to the ranks of a modern classic.
