Description: We are very fussy about our packaging! ADVENTURES OF BADGER, MOLE, TOAD - AND DON'T FORGET RAT OF COURSE FIRST PUBLISHED IN 1908, THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS remains beloved by children today just as it was by their parents and by their parents before them - all of them charmed by the antics of Badger, Mole,Toad and Rat (actually a water vole) and by the delightful writing of Kenneth Grahame. This classic of children's literature has been published many times down the years - and we think this edition is among the loveliest. Kenneth Grahame was the most unlikely person to be the author of a fantasy work. He was an executive of the Bank of England and wrote it after retirement, recalling the bedtime stories he told his son Alastair (known as "Mouse" to his family) who died at an early age. While there is a sad element in its creation, it has brought much pleasure to millions of children. THIS HARDCOVER COPY HAS BEEN READ but is very good condition with clean, crisp and unmarked pages, a firm and square binding and a good dust-jacket. Its delightful illustrations (see above) are by Michael Hague, one of America's finest illustrators. This book is certain to be a childhood favorite. There are no signs of prior ownership such as an inscription or a bookplate.
