Product Description

Product Description

Spring is in the air and Mole has found a wonderful new world.

About the Author

Kenneth Graham (1859-1932) was born in Edinburgh, but grew up with relatives in Berkshire where he developed his love for the countryside surrounding the upper parts of the River Thames. He was educated at St Edward's in Oxford, but instead of going on to Oxford University he joined the Bank of England, where he rose to become Secretary. He wrote several books including The Golden Age and Dream Days which includes the short story 'The Reluctant Dragon' (later made into a Disney movie). Kenneth Grahame developed the character of Toad in The Wind in the Willows to amuse his young son, Alistair. It was published in 1908 and still remains a best-loved children's classic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding!, 23 Aug 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Wind in the Willows (Paperback)
I read this book for the first time as an adult, and can clearly see lessons that I still need to learn!

The adventures of Rat, Mole, Toad, and Badger are timeless. They have spoken to young and old for decades, as they continue to speak to me. I was told by a man studying to be a pastor that during his internship, his mentor required that he read this book -- it has more to say about how to deal with relational conflicts and differing personalities than perhaps any other!

Aside from the lessons to be learned here, however, the stories themselves are simply charming! The characters are vivid and lovable -- despite their quirks and foibles. I'm delighted to have discovered these stories -- even if it was a little later in life than most.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Masterpiece!!!!!, 24 Dec 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Wind in the Willows (Hardcover)
This book, is quite possibly one of the greatest ever written for in this book Kenneth Grahame has achieved an incredible feat, one that very few others have. He has produced a novel which can be read by anyone regardless of age, gendre,or culture! It is a masterpiece of english prose and an invitation into a world that is free of problems to run away from, dreading futures to await or bullys from whom to hide. You'd have to be a full to turn this invitation down! I agree with what a nineteenth century reviewer had said when the book had first come out, for I find it hard to believe how anyone can criticize a book that is about such beauty and joy and happiness and whose language is so much fun to read. I implore you to pick up a copy and read it today!

5.0 out of 5 stars delightful and well characterised version of an old favouite, 1 Nov 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Wind In The Willows [VHS] [1995] (VHS Tape)
Gentle,easy, humorous watching for any age. The story is well known, and the excellent voice talents of such as Rik Mayall and Alan Bennett add to its charm and fun.
