Illustrated by
Maurice Sendak.
In dreamy, childlike prose, Krauss describes Charlotte's love for her colt Milky Way--spring comes, Milky Way grows, and Charlotte's father wants to sell him. The father relents when Charlotte pleads for the horse. Sendak's illustrations, some of their colors deepened for this new edition, add to the mystique with their antique tints and curious outside-in perspective.
