The Wind in the Willows: Kenneth Grahame

The most popular children`s book ever written, lovingly illustrated by John Burningham.

Kenneth Grahame began to tell the tale of the river bank on the night of his son`s fourth birthday, but what started out as a short bedtime story soon grew into one of the most enjoyable series of adventures ever to be told in children`s literature.

The entertaining exploits of the book`s four intrepid heroes - Mole, Water Rat, Badger and the incorrigible Toad - have captured the imagination of generations of children.

This beautiful edition is illustrated by renowned picture book artist John Burningham, whose wonderfully evocative line drawings marry perfectly with Graham`s vivid text. There are twelve glorious full-colour scenes, full of detail, to enjoy over again and again.
