Product Description

Review
Despite the attractive large format of this pleasant complete edition of the 1908 classic, the illustrations seem bland in comparison with either the lively wit of Ernest Shepard's drawings or Rackham's elegant and endearing detail. Percy does evoke the serenity of the English landscape and cozy interiors in his carefully designed full-color plates, while the characters come affably to life in his detailed drawings. There's a more contemporary flavor here, too, though costume and settings are appropriately Edwardian. Not a primary purchase, but a nice supplementary interpretation. (Kirkus Reviews)

Product Description
The tales of Ratty, Mole, Badger and Toad. When Mole goes boating with the Water Rat instead of spring-cleaning, he discovers a new world. As well as the river and the Wild Wood, there is Toad's craze for fast travel which leads him and his friends on a whirl of trains, barges, gipsy caravans and motor cars and even into battle.

5.0 out of 5 stars How I came to love "Wind In The Willows", 2 Oct 2001
By A Customer
When I was bought this audio tape as a young child, I would leave it playing as I tried to sleep. As I listened to the classic story being read by the soft voice of Alan Bennett, I felt as though I were part of the story! I listened to it so often I learned it by heart! It really is a lovely tape for adults and children alike.

5.0 out of 5 stars Spellbinding Stories for Young Children, 13 May 2007
By J. Chippindale (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
Anything to do with Wind in the Willows was a must for my own children and now the love of a good story has been carried on to my grandchildren.

I purchased this book to read to my young grandson ([...]). The book brought back many wonderful memories of my own children's childhood and the magical world the story gives to a young child hearing it for the first time.

Until I started to read to my grandson I had forgotten what a wonderful story it is, far surpassing most of the modern tales for children. It still feels as fresh as the day it was written and is not dated at all.

For some reason, I don't know why children seem to be able to relate to stories about animals rather than about human beings, this is reflected in the number of programmes on children's television about animals.

Whether it be paper back or hard back with illustrations or spin offs from the original version get the children in your family a copy of Wind in the Willows, I guarantee they will love it.
