The Annotated Charlotte's Web

‘[This] book is for all readers: literary analysts, process writing proponents, and middle-grade sleuths curious about an all-time favorite book. The annotations include information from White’s eight drafts of Charlotte’s Web, cross-references to his other writings and to the source books he used, Neumeyer's own stylistic comments and ‘some general, cultural, comments.’ The format sets each page of White’s text to a wide column of notes … [which] never overpower White’s prose.’—SLJ. ‘If Charlotte’s Webis E.B. White’s masterpiece, then surely The Annotated Charlotte’s Web is Peter Neumeyer’s. . . . It’s an invitation to a feast!"—H.
