The perfect gift for an animal enthusiast.


Share your beloved childhood stories with the next generation!


This timeless tale has never been out of print and is one of the best-loved children's titles in English literature. Kenneth Grahame's wonderful imagination and quiet humour continue to charm children and adults alike, and Robert Ingpen's stunning illustrations bring to life the adventures of Toad, Mole, Ratty and Badger.

When the Mole leaves his spring-cleaning and heads up into the open air, he embarks on a series of exhilarating adventures with his new friends: the laid-back Ratty, the gruff yet kindly Badger and the self-satisfied, irrepressible Mr. Toad. The impulsive Toad leads the friends from one escapade to the next from upturned gypsy caravans to stolen motorcars, a daring prison escape and, finally, to a heroic confrontation with the sinister inhabitants of the Wild Wood.

A full-colour illustrated edition of one of the world's best loved stories.

About Kenneth Grahame

Kenneth Grahame (1859-1932) was born in Edinburgh Scotland UK but following the death of his mother when he was only five years old was brought up by his grandmother in Berkshire England UK. Grahame began writing as a means of escaping the drudgery of his job at the bank and he soon began to have pieces published in journals. The Wind in the Willows began as a bedtime story for Grahame's son Alistair nicknamed 'Mouse' and was further embellished by Grahame in letters to his son. The book was published in 1908 and eventually became a huge bestseller. Robert Ingpen was born in 1936 in Geelong Australia and still lives and works nearby in Barwon Heads. In 1986 he was awarded the Hans Christian Andersen Medal for his contribution to children's literature and he has been honoured with Membership of the Order of Australia.
