"Patrick Benson's cross-hatched illustrations seem to have been lovingly guided by the hand of Ernest Shepard, whose 1931 drawings of "The Wind in the Willows "continue to transport young readers to meadow, riverbank, and wildwood."--"Cleveland Plain Dealer"

Product Description
For now, in an act of homage and celebration, William Horwood has brought to life once more the four most-loved characters in English literature: the loyal Mole, the resourceful Water Rat, the stern but wise Badger, and, of course, the exasperating, irresistible Toad. The result is an enchanting, unforgettable new novel, enlivened by delightful illustrations, in which William Horwood has recaptured all the joy, magic, and good humor of Grahame's great work - and Toad is still as exasperatingly lovable as he ever was.

Format:Hardcover
William Horwood has succeeded where other authors have failed; he has written an enchanting, captivating and unforgettable sequel to Kenneth Grahame's immortal classic. It is enlivened by the delightful illustrations of Patrick Benson and Horwood has written a thoroughly faithful re-creation of Grahame's masterpiece and set the action a little later than the original story. He has successfully recaptured all the joy, good humour and magic of the original great work Of course, the action starts with Mole but he is not spring-cleaning when the story (re)commences. It is a wild and wintry night and he is relaxing with his nephew in front of a warm and glowing open fire when Portly arrives in a distressed state. The tale unfolds with the re-appearance of all the old favourites and anyone who collects the entire trilogy will have a selection of stories that they will enjoy for ever. As always, with Horwood's 'Tales of the Willows' there are 12 chapters of pure escapism and pleasure.

This is an unofficial sequel to 'the Wind in the Willows', and carries on the adventures of Toad, Mole, Rat, Badger, and the other animals. Even though it's written by another author, he does manage to capture Grahame's writing style very well and it flows well from the first book. Obviously not one for the puritians, but I quite enjoyed it. It's great to see what might have happened next to the characters that I've grown up with.
