SynopsisKenneth Grahame's charming children's classic follows the timeless adventures of Ratty, Mole, Badger, and Toad as they romp around the British countryside. The Wind in the Willows is the enchanting story of four animal friends and their glorious adventures around the Wild Wood and the Thames Riverbank. With themes of unceasing camaraderie, mysticism, morality, and nature, the novel was first published in 1908. Featuring Arthur Rackham's magical illustrations, this edition brings Kenneth Grahame's whimsical story to life. A much-adored artist from the Golden Age of Illustration (1850-1925), Rackham's delicate illustrations further refine and illuminate Grahame's masterful storytelling. This edition also features an introduction by author A. A. Milne, most well-known for penning the famous stories of Winnie the Pooh (1928)., This book forms part of our 'Pook Press' imprint, celebrating the golden age of illustration in children's literature. 'The Wind in the Willows' is a true classic of Children's literature, penned by Kenneth Grahame and first published in 1908. Alternately slow moving and fast paced, it focuses on four anthropomorphised animal characters in a traditional bucolic version of the English Thames valley - a novel notable for its adventure, mysticism, morality and unceasing camaraderie. This text contains an introduction by A. A. Milne, the famed author of 'Whinnie the Pooh' and various other Children's poems. It is also accompanied by a series of dazzling colour illustrations by Arthur Rackham (1867-1939). One of the most celebrated painters of the British Golden Age of Illustration, which encompassed the years from 1900 until the start of the first world war, Rackham's artistry still delights both young and old over a century later. Presented alongside the text, his illustrations further refine Grahame's masterful storytelling.

Timeless children's book, timeless illustrations
Perhaps even better than the ALICE books, THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS is a delightful, funny, and moving book, with color paintings by one of the most famous of all illustrators, Arthur Rackham. The book also contains what is for my money the most beautiful prose in the English language, in the chapter titled "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn," from which Pink Floyd took the title of their first album. I can't recommend the book highly enough.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
