This review is from: The Wind in the Willows (Hardcover)
While I'm sure this book will evoke many fond memories for those who read it as a child, please be aware that it is very abridged. Large format, large type, nicely illustrated, inexpensive... and abridged.

Childhood Favorite, July 12 2007

This review is from: The Wind in the Willows (Hardcover)
I remember this book. It was given to me as a birthday present when I was young. I loved it! My father read it to me until the pages fell out. I lost it in a move several years ago and was overjoyed to find it for sale after having been unavailable for many years. The pictures are amazing. The detail is spectacular. I haven't seen another edition with such fine illustrations. The characters came to life for me as a child through these pictures. I fell in love with the story and rat and mole became my best friends. I recommend this book. Make someone's childhood.

I looked several places trying to locate this Wind in the Willows book illustrated by Rene Cloke. I was having a difficult time finding a new copy. I am quite happy with the quality of the book I received.
