The Wind In The Willows

The Wind in the Willows, book of linked animal tales by British writer Kenneth Grahame that began as a series of bedtime stories for his son and was published in 1908. The beautifully written work, with its evocative descriptions of the countryside interspersed with exciting adventures, became a classic of English children's literature. The tales relate the adventures of several animal friends and neighbours in the English countryside-primarily Mole, Rat, Toad, and Badger.
