Do you remember the first time you cried while reading a book? At some point in elementary school, I read E.B. White's Charlotte's Web. The story of a pig with a spider friend doesn't sound that sad, but I remember crying while reading it. Why, I don't recall, so I suppose I'll have to read the book again to find out!
If you want, I have an annotated edition of it (the author's handwritten notes in the margins and some of her original sketches for things). It's super cool. Let me know ...
ReplyDeleteI would tell you why you probably cried, but I wouldn't want to ruin your re-read. :)
ReplyDeleteTommy loves this story but I can't cheer for a spider. Something in me recoils. But I hope you enjoy reading it again. Maybe someday....
