Actually, they're already offering a new Charlotte's Web cover, with the movie actress holding a pig, in exactly the same pose as the old Garth Williams cover. Sigh.
Actually I haven't read the Little House books either. Major major neglect on my part. I should try them now. I think I was put off when I was a kid because they were about girls. Didn't read Little Women until I was an adult for this reason. I was much more drawn to R.L. Stevenson, and boy adventures generally. Hey, I'm not saying this was sensible or fair of me, it was just the way I was. In denial about being female.
