Join Ratty, Mole, Badger and Toad in their classic riverbank adventure. Produced in association with the UK's National Gallery, this handsome new hardback edition's dustjacket features Monet's The Water-Lily Pond from the National Gallery's collection, and includes expert notes on the art.
Featuring the full original text of Kenneth Grahame's The Wind in the Willows, this beautiful edition is the perfect way to enjoy the story of Mole's friendship with the Water Rat and Badger, and Toad's outlandish escapades with motor cars.
This volume is part of the Masterpiece Classics series from Welbeck, which includes The Jungle Books, Alice in Wonderland and A Christmas Carol.
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.
