Today on Once Upon a Podcast, Sarah and Chandler discuss E.B. White's classic tale Charlotte's Web


Elwyn Brooks White was the master behind three children’s books, many books for adults, and grammar guide we still use today among many other accomplishments. White loved the country, and he had a farm in North Brooklin, Maine. It is here that his most famous story, Charlotte’s Web, is set. Published in 1952 Charlotte's Web won a Newberry Medal and is still ranks as one of the number one children’s book across the country. Many children asked if his stories were true, to which White replied “No, they are imaginary tales… But real life is only one kind of life — there is also the life of the imagination.”
