The Wind in the Willows

Kenneth Grahame (1859-1932)

Original en 58290 words First published 1908 United Kingdom

Kenneth Grahame's 1908 classic of the river bank. Mole abandons his spring cleaning for the river and the friendship of Rat; together they visit the hospitable Badger in the Wild Wood and struggle with Mr Toad of Toad Hall — rich, reckless, obsessed with motorcars, and permanently one step from disaster. Equal parts pastoral idyll and comic adventure, written with perfect prose and a bottomless love of home. A book children love for the animals and adults love for everything else.
