With an Introduction by A.A. Milne and Illustrated by Arthur
Rackham. Far from fading with time, Kenneth Grahame's classic tale
of fantasy has attracted a growing audience in each generation.
Rat, Mole, Badger and the preposterous Mr Toad, have brought
delight to many through the years with their odd adventures on and
by the river, and at the imposing residence of Toad Hall.
This classic of the English countryside, . first published in 1908,
is a favourite with readers of all ages. As the late Margery Fisher
wrote, 'Adults are sadly aware of the figure of Grahame himself,
languishing in a city office and longing for the river: children
respond to the fun, the anarchy of Toad and the entrancing detail
as Grahame's son Alastair must have done when he listened to the
bedside stories that became a book. ' The author invited Arthur
Rackham to illustrate his book, but Rackham said he was too busy -
a decision he was happily able to reconsider in 1936 when he was
approached by the American publisher of the Limited Editions Club.
The project, which he carried out with love and great care for the
authenticity of detail, was his last: the drawings appeared first
in the USA in 1939 and in Britian in 1950.
Spend a season on the river bank and take a walk on the wild side .
. . Spring is in the air and Mole has found a wonderful new world.
There's boating with Ratty, a feast with Badger and high jinx on
the open road with that reckless ruffian, Mr Toad of Toad Hall. The
four become the firmest of friends, but after Toad's latest
escapade, can they join together and beat the wretched weasels?
PLUS A behind-the-scenes journey, including author profile, a guide
to who's who, activities and more.
HarperCollins is proud to present its range of best-loved,
essential classics. 'There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half
so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats.' One spring
day in the idyllic English countryside, Mole, Rat, Toad and Badger
embark on a series of escapades. From Ratty's exploits on the river
to Toad's passion for motorcars and the invasion of Toad Hall by
the stoats and weasels, these woodland friends encounter adventure
at every turn. A timeless and celebrated classic, Kenneth Grahame's
The Wind in the Willows has endured for nearly 100 years, and
continues to delight readers of all ages.
