Published in 1908, The Wind in the Willows established Kenneth Grahame as one of the defining voices in children's books. Mole, Rat, Otter, and the irrepressible Mr Toad have pastoral adventures along the river, through the Wild Wood, and in the great wide world in Grahame's beloved classic. A book ostensibly for children that speaks as much to adults about friendship, belonging, and the English countryside. Themes of friendship, nature, home run through the work. The book has received recognition from BBC Big Read 1908.
