Garth Williams wordt voor altijd herinnerd als de illustrator die geliefde fictieve personages een onvergetelijke vorm gaf. Zijn artistieke hand bracht de deftige muis Stuart Little, de vriendelijke spin Charlotte, haar vriend Wilbur, en talloze andere dieren, fantastische wezens en kinderen tot leven.
