STORY PREFACE

The web itself is a miracle.

Dr. Dorian
Charlotte’s Web

As Andy White went into his North Brooklin barn to feed a pig, he was distracted by a gray spider spinning a web. Working hard, that barn spider produced strands of silk stronger than similarly-sized strands of steel. How could such a thing be?

Not long before he watched the spider, one of White’s pigs had died. Distraught, he wrote an essay called “Death of a Pig.” His sadness is reflected in words like these:

He had evidently become precious to me ...

So ... what if it were possible for White to write a different ending for the pig who took sick and died? And ... what if a spider, whom he called Charlotte, became part of the story?
