Join Mole, Ratty, Toad and friends as they reflect on the universal themes of life, friendship, and the world around them as they embark on the most joyful of adventures through the bucolic British countryside.
E.H. Shepard’s classic and beautiful artwork brings out the wonderful humour, poignancy, nostalgia and mindful moments of this life, highlighted by both quotes from the original text and meaningful reflections.
This beautiful hardback edition is the perfect gift for both children and adults alike as well as fans of Disney’s Winnie-the-Pooh: The Little Things in Life, Charles Mackesy’s The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and the Horse and Sarah Maycock’s Sometimes I Feel.
E.H.Shepard was born in London in 1879. He won a scholarship to the Royal Academy Schools and later worked as an artist, illustrator and cartoonist. Shepard’s witty and loving decorations of both Wind in the Willows and Winnie-the-Pooh have become an inseparable part of their stories, and classics in their own right.
Kenneth Grahame was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1859 and grew up in Berkshire. Wind in the Willows was based on bedtime stories he told his son Alistair, who is said to have been the inspiration for the much-loved character of Toad.
