Look who is 60!

Charlotte's Web is a classic children's story that was first published in 1952. It's hard to believe it is sixty years old. The story seems fresh each time it is read aloud. There is someting about friendship that is timeless.  The  setting is the least familiar space for most sub-urban and urban dwellers - the barn.  Michael Sims, blog author, wrote  The Story of Charlotte's Web [PS3545 H5187 Z925 2011]  which he began by noting he was "standing in the barn that had belonged to E.B.White". The real barn where E.B. White discovered Charlotte, Wilbur and Templeton.
