Kenneth Grahame 8 March 1859 - 6 July 1932 Was a Scottish writer
who was most famous for 'The Wind in the Willows' published in
1908, that was later adapted into a Disney film. In his early
twenties he published his first stories in the 'London
Periodicals', where some stories were chosen for publication as
'Pagan Papers' in 1893, followed by 'The Golden Age' some two years
later. In 1898 'Dream Days' was published including 'The Reluctant
Dragon', followed by 'The Wind in the Willows' ten years later. It
is believed that Kenneth Grahame was inspired by Quarry Wood and
the River Thames to write 'The Wind in the Willows' by his
biographer, Peter Green. It is also believed that the headstrong
and wayward nature of his son, gave Grahame the idea for one of his
leading characters 'Mr Toad, of Toad Hall'. Grahame sadly died in
Berkshire in 1932 and is buried in Holywell cemetery, Oxford.
