The Wind in the Willows

3.99 (198,773 ratings by Goodreads)

English

By (author): Kenneth Grahame

Ho! ho! I am the Toad, the motor-car snatcher, the prison-breaker, the Toad who always escapes!

Tired of spring cleaning, Mole ventures above ground into the warm sunshine, and happens upon his friend Ratty. Together they picnic on the sparkling, burbling river, brave the sinister Wild Wood in wintertime to visit the bad-tempered Badger, and take to the open road in a caravan with dear, silly old Toad. But when Toad's attention turns to motor cars, his reckless behaviour goes from bad to worse. Badger, Rat and Mole must save their friend from ruin, and Toad Hall from the clutches of the rascally Stoats and Weasels.

BACKSTORY: Get outdoors and explore the natural world, and test your knowledge of The Wind in the Willows.

About Kenneth Grahame

Kenneth Grahame was born in Edinburgh on 8 March 1859. He was brought up by his grandmother and spent much of his time exploring the woods and wildlife near his home but was also a gifted scholar and captain of the school rugby team. He was sent to work in a bank which he disliked but it was while he was working there that he began writing and soon became a successful author.The Wind in the Willows is based on letters and bedtime stories that Graham thought up for his son Alistair who was nicknamed 'Mouse'. A neighbour convinced Kenneth that he should turn the stories into a book but when he did it was rejected by all publishers except one. It wasn't until the then President of the United States Theodore Roosevelt said how much he loved the book that readers began to take notice. After that The Wind in the Willows became a bestseller and was even turned into a play with the help of A.A. Milne the author of the Winnie the Pooh stories. Kenneth Grahame retired from the bank in the year The Wind in the Willows was published and he died in 1932.
