Summary
‘Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats.’
When the Mole leaves his spring-cleaning and heads up into the open air, he embarks on a series of exhilarating adventures with his new friends: the laid-back Ratty, the gruff yet kindly Badger and the self-satisfied, irrepressible Mr. Toad.

About The Author
Kenneth Grahame
Kenneth Grahame
Kenneth Grahame was born in Edinburgh in 1859, but, following the death of his mother when he was only five years old, was brought up by his grandmother in Berkshire. Grahame began writing as a means of escaping the drudgery of his job at the bank, and he soon began to have pieces published in journals. The Wind in the Willows began as a bedtime story for Grahame’s son Alistair, nicknamed ‘Mouse’, and was further embellished by Grahame in letters to his son. The book was published in 1908 and eventually became a huge bestseller.
