NEW YORK, Sept. 24 (UPI) -- More than 40 original illustrations from the beloved children's book "Charlotte's Web" are to be auctioned off next month in New York, organizers said.
The artwork from the estate of illustrator Garth Williams is to be part of Heritage Auctions' Oct. 15 Illustration Art Auction in Manhattan. The original cover art and 44 of the book's 46 interior illustrations will be offered in the auction and sold without reserve.
Published in 1952, "Charlotte's Web" was named the best-selling children's paperback of all time by Publisher's Weekly in 2000. The book is about how a clever spider saves a good-hearted pig from slaughter.
