Charlotte's Web

by

E.B. White

Illustrated by Garth Williams 

Harper and Brothers, True First Edition (I-B) 1952

WITH RARE JANUARY 1948 ATLANTIC MAGAZINE

Featuring E.B. White's "Death of a Pig" essay that eventually led to Charlotte's Web

A WONDERFUL AND UNIQUE SET FOR A CHARLOTTE'S WEB LOVER 

True first editions (with I-B code) of Charlotte's Web in the unclipped jacket are quite rare. It is especially wonderful to have one paired with the original issue of The Atlantic in which E.B. White explores the relationship between humans and animals, laying the foundation for what would become a great classic.

Condition: The dust jacket has the original price and is complete. There is darkening to the spine and some fading and toning, as is usual for the fragile jacket. Presents very well in a Brod-Art protector. The book has tight hinges and the contents are clean, with only a little fading to the boards. Magazine with light wear and chipping to the wraps, overall very nice. Please see photos for details.
