The police said it was an accident. The dead woman's sister said it was murder...and that she knew who did it.

By all rights, he should have spent this summer as host to some of the wealthiest gentry on the East Coast. But war will change everything that should have been in that summer of 1917.

As he was composing what was to become his most enduring and popular book, E. B. White was obeying that oft-repeated maxim: "Write what you know." Helpless pigs, silly geese, clever spiders, greedy rats - White knew all of these characters in the barns and stables where he spent his favorite hours. In The Story of Charlotte's Web, Michael Sims shows how White solved what critic Clifton Fadiman once called "the standing problem of the juvenile-fantasy writer: how to find, not another Alice, but another rabbit hole."
