"Mary of Mud Creek"

Mary of Mud Creek is a fictional story about a little girl growing up on a modern-day pig farm in rural Ontario. The protagonist of the story, Mary, befriends one of the pigs on Mud Creek Farms but soon comes to realize that her companion’s time on the farm will soon come to an end. In this sense it is a contemporary Charlotte’s Web as it grapples with similar issues regarding the human-animal connection.
