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. Hoewel Williams ook verschillende kinderboeken schreef, zijn het vooral zijn unieke illustratiestijl en zijn vermogen om personages uitgesproken persoonlijkheden te geven die zijn nalatenschap hebben gevestigd. Zijn werk toonde ook de kracht van kunst om deel te nemen aan maatschappelijke dialogen.
