Earl Hamner

Story of a large family who live in the shadow of the Grand Teton mountain that bears their name.

It's Spring Break 1963, and everyone is headed for the California desert playground of Palm Springs.

Fern is a young farm girl who rescues the runt, Wilbur. Wilbur the pig is saved from certain death and Fern visits him every day at her Uncle Homer's farm. But it's Wilbur's friendship with Charlotte the spider that ultimately saves him from the "smoke house." Charlotte's talent for weaving praiseworthy words about Wilbur into her web turns the Zuckerman farm into a tourist attraction.
