Oxford Children's Classics The Wind in The Willows by Kenneth Grahame
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.

Kenneth Grahame (1859-1932) was born in Edinburgh, but grew up with relatives in Berkshire where he developed his love for the countryside surrounding the upper parts of the River Thames. He was educated at St Edward's in Oxford, but instead of going on to Oxford University he joined the Bank of England, where he rose to become Secretary. He wrote several books including The Golden Age and Dream Days which includes the short story 'The Reluctant Dragon' (later made into a Disney movie). Kenneth Grahame developed the character of Toad in The Wind in the Willows to amuse his young son, Alistair. It was published in 1908 and still remains a best-loved children's classic.

Stunning! This boxed version of a beautifully produced volume look as good as new. It is large enough to use if reading the story to children and showing them the splendid artwork.I cannot believe how inexpensive it was, and the cost included the postage. I feel that I have been given a free gift by World of Books.cost luded

Wonderful book that is beautifully bound! Unfortunately, the dark green cover bleed onto another light pink book I ordered, not terribly though. The end of the spine was slightly dented which seems to be an overall problem for the collection, but it doesn't take away from the beauty of the book(s).

One of my all time favourites. With 23 grandkids Booktopia is one of my first stops for Christmas and birthday presents! Wind in the Willows is really one of the classics that every kid should read. Highly recommend it!
I particularly bought this book to frame one of the illustrations. Nothing (in my opinion) can match the illustrations by E. R. Shepard, but the illustrations in this book are superb, in a completely different way. SUCH a shame that the chapter The Piper At The Gates of Dawn has been omitted, as it is one of the chapters that had a profound effect on me when I originally received the book as a present back in 1958. Is this a case of the publishers worrying about the 'pagan' connotations? A sad erratum.
I first read this book at High School when i was 14 yrs and loved it. Years went by and decided to read it again when in my 60's and enjoyed it even more, . And when i was faced with a needed surgical operation last year at 78 yrs, that came with great risk, i decided i would buy myself a present, and bought myself my own copy!The non abridged, illustrated edition is just the best., Well written, easily allowing you to be part of the 'going-on's'. Imagining it all so clearly, chuckling and laughing to myself as the story unfolded.The many illustrations throughout the book are lovely and the hard cover will keep it safe for years to come.
Oscar Wilde, wisely observed that some [his] literature was written for persons whom enjoyed the phenomenon of remaining [mentally] youthful.... C.S.Lewis and Enid Blyton, also told stories for this wonderful group as did Kenneth Graham. As a sixty five year old, and an emotional 'Peter Pan', I identify with a segment of the target group who would enjoy Graham's classic. That is not to say that I am lacking in Emotional Intelligence , rather that the enjoyment I [and others like me] draw from reading such literature arises from our 'forever young' attitude towards life. Pleasant mix of nostalgia, warm winter fires, soft rugs before a rusted heat hardened hearth and the companionship of the family sat around the pre-bedtime radio radio are elicited by such books as ... MoreOscar Wilde, wisely observed that some [his] literature was written for persons whom enjoyed the phenomenon of remaining [mentally] youthful....

Nice little book which will be more suitable for younger children. Im looking forward to reading it to my grandson. The print is larger and there are some fun black and white sketches of characters. Its a way of introducing a classic story and hopefully encouraging interest.
Being dyslexic, I've never really read to many books in my life preferring to do other things instead. This is the fourth book in a row I've read and enjoyed it the most, the images are like a watercolour painting in words and the caricature fire the imagination. No wonder so many other people enjoy this story.
