A Children's Classic:
first edition of Charlotte's Web

an outstanding copy

First edition of Charlotte's Web by E.B. White

“Wilbur never forgot Charlotte. Although he loved her children and grandchildren dearly, none of the new spiders ever quite took her place in his heart. She was in a class by herself…”

White, E.B. Charlotte’s Web. New York: Harper & Brothers, (1952). Octavo, original decorated beige cloth, original pictorial dust jacket. $2400. 

First edition of one of the world’s most beloved children’s books, illustrated with forty-seven black-and-white drawings by Garth Williams. Book ever so slightly cocked, otherwise fine; extremely bright dust jacket with only the slightest edgewear. A superb copy, rare in this condition.
