Product Description
Book Description
The Wind in the Willows (1908) is a book for those 'who keep the spirit of youth alive in them'. So wrote Kenneth Grahame of his timeless tale of Toad, Mole, Badger, and Rat in their beautiful and benevolently ordered world. But it is also a world under siege, threatened by dark and unnamed forces, and defended by the mysterious Piper at the Gates of Dawn. The Wind in the Willows has achieved an enduring place in our literature: it succeeds at once in arousing our anxieties and in calming them by giving perfect shape to our desire for peace and escape.
About the Author
Kenneth Grahame was a British writer, mainly of the sort of fiction and fantasy written for children but enjoyed equally if not more by adults.

This review is from: The Wind in the Willows (Paperback)
I grew up on the southern tip of Lake Michigan during the forties and fifties. Dunes, swamps, woods, and a lake that was huge. What more could a boy ask for as a playground. The Wind in the Willows takes me back to that play ground and wonderful memories. I love the story, the characters, and the adventures they have. When I read the story to my grandchildren, I add my stories as I go along. I was so fortunate to have grown up in a wonderland and this book is just as much fun.

..., July 23 2009
By P. B. McCaffery - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Wind in the Willows (Paperback)
A beautiful book. Much more could (or probably should) be said about it; but really it speaks for itself. If you desire to rustle in the leaves of the willow tree, or laugh with innocent Mole or sagacious Ratty on riverbanks; if you can immerse yourself in the world of an English countryside, read this book. It will not fail you; it will not in fact ever leave you.
