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)

5.0 out of 5 stars Marvelous illustrations, 21 Mar 2002
By A Customer
This is, of course, a classic story. But it is the new illustrations by Helen Ward that really set this edition apart from all the rest. Intricate, realistic yet imaginative, richly colored and detailed, they really made the story come alive for me. (I've just read it for the first time at age 46-- what a delight!)

5.0 out of 5 stars Still Some of the Best Children's Stories, 4 April 2007
By J. Chippindale (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   

I purchased this book to read to my young grandson (4 years old). The book brought back many wonderful memories of my 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 get the children in your family a copy of Wind in the Willows, I guarantee they will love it. This edition is one of the best.
