Four unforgettable friends and a madcap adventure!
Kenneth Grahame was born in Scotland in 1859. After the death of
his mother he was sent to live with his grandparents in Berkshire,
in a house by the River Thames, and attended school in Oxford. On
leaving school he worked at the Bank of England during the day and
also wrote articles, stories, and poems, which he submitted to many
publications. He married in 1899 and had a son, Alastair. The Wind
in the Willows was originally a story for Alastair, and was
spoken aloud as short stories. Only after that did Grahame put them
into one book which was published in 1908. He died in 1932 and is
buried in Oxford.
`'These appealing and educational new editions give a contemporary
look and feel to much-loved stories which have stood the test of
time.''
