In\* I, TEMPLETON\*, E.B. White’s unpublished sequel to CHARLOTTE’S WEB, Wilbur has become a bloated and corrupt feared hog who commands an army of millions of spider progeny of Charlotte and of whom even the Zuckerman family lives in terror. The Zuckermans sell their farm at a major loss to Farmer Jones, who destroys the spiders with a pesticide plane and takes back the farm in a bloodbath battle with the now feral and maneating Wilbur in The Boar War ultimately slaughtering the tyrannical and unmourned even by the other hogs. In order to prevent another hog ever from rising, Jones rules the farm with an iron meathook, until the advent of an intelligent son of Wilbur known as Major.
