A classic of children's literature first published in 1908, The Wind in the Willows is alternately slow-moving and fast-paced, focusing on three animal characters in a bucolic version of England. This magnificent new edition of the story, featuring over 120 illustrations by award-winning Australian illustrator Robert Ingpen, celebrates the centenary of the original publication.The Wind in the Willows is notable for its mixture of mysticism, adventure, morality and camaraderie. Originally written in letter form for Kenneth Grahame's only child, Alistair, the book gives as much pleasure to adult readers as to children.Ages 8 and up
