Since its beginnings as a series of stories told to Kenneth Grahames young son, The Wind in the Willows has gone on to become one of the best-loved childrens books of all time. The timeless story of Toad, Rat, Mole, and Badger has delighted readers of all ages for more than eighty years.Friendly Rat, mild-mannered Mole, wise Badger, and kind-but conceited-Toad all live on the banks of the Thames. While Mole and Rat are content to go out in a row boat or travel the roads in a caravan, Toad prefers the excitement of motor cars. Hes already wrecked seven! While his friends try to keep him out of trouble, his passion for cars eventually results in his being caught and kept prisoner in the remotest dungeon of the best-guarded castle in all the land. Somehow, he has to escape and get home but what will he find when he gets there?The Wind in the Willows is a book for those who keep the spirit of youth alive in them; of life, sunshine, running water, woodlands, dusty roads, winter firesides. So, wrote Kenneth Grahame of his timeless tale of Rat, Mole, Badger, and Toad.
