'Mole suddenly flung down his brush and said "Bother!" and "O blow!" and also "Hang spring-cleaning!"...'
So begins one of the greatest children's stories ever written: a rebellion against drudgery that sets in motion a timeless tale of friendship and adventure.
Join Mole, Ratty, Mr. Badger and Toad in this classic story, and see them brought to life in a new way.
With original illustrations by Krista Brennan, Kenneth Grahame's Wind in the Willows is woven with elements from the modern-day revival of artisanal craftsmanship, maker culture and the steampunk movement to create this brand new edition.
This edition is a print-on-demand standard colour paperback.
Kenneth Grahame
Kenneth Grahame was born in Edinburgh in 1859. He was educated at St Edward's School, Oxford, but family circumstances prevented him from entering Oxford University. He joined the Bank of England as a gentleman clerk in 1879, rising to become the Bank's Secretary in 1898. He wrote a series of short stories, married Elspeth Thomson in 1899 and their only child, Alistair, was born a year later. He left the Bank in 1908, the year that The Wind in the Willows was published. Though not an immediate success, by the time of Grahame's death in 1932 it was recognised as a children's classic.
