The Wind in the Willows - Illustrated by Arthur Rackham
"[Jacques’ introduction is] a paean to the story and its heroes that is in delightful harmony with the book’s spirit…richly illustrated throughout" -- Katherine A. Powers - Boston Globe
"Beautiful." -- Meghan Cox Gurdon - National Review
"[I]nsights that burnish the book…enrich the experience of reading the book…it’s the introduction…that give[s] us a new relationship to the story." -- Jeremy McCarter - Newsweek
"[A] superlative book...It is the ultimate desk-bound person’s fantasy scheme." -- Roger Lewis - The Daily Express
"Certainly anybody who wants to own just one annotated Wind in the Willows should choose Gauger's." -- Michael Dirda - The New York Review of Books
"[Gauger] by far [is] the more extensive and detailed of the two annotators." -- Charles McGrath - The New York Times
"[Gauger] provides revealing insights into the psychological and social genesis of The Wind in the Willows…illuminating…analysis of the pictures…lovers of The Wind in the Willows are surely indebted to Ms. Gauger’s work, and her readers will love seeing illustrations from so many editions." -- Claire Hopley - Washington Times
"I found The Annotated Wind in the Willows is absolutely fascinating and delightful. Practically every page is a revelation, and being able to compare the various illustrations is both stimulating and thought-provoking. Most importantly, perhaps, Alastair Grahame finally gets some close attention that puts him in a new, and much happier, light. It's a fitting tribute to the great original, and will delight enthusiasts and academics alike. An absolutely fantastic book." -- Jan Needle, author of Wild Wood, a sequel to The Wind in the Willows
"A beautiful and fascinating book which surely must become the definitive edition for any lovers of Kenneth Grahame. Annie Gauger has produced a lavish and scholarly work which still allows us to enjoy the original story without all the incredible research feeling unnecessarily intrusive." -- John O'Farrell
"The tradition that Martin Gardner began with the Annotated Alice has been splendidly upheld by Annie Gauger. What Gardner did for Lewis Carroll, Gauger has done in spades for Kenneth Grahame, in a sumptuously produced volume that’s a delight to handle as well as read. The background information on display really dazzles: I only wish I'd had this book to consult when writing Grahame’s biography." -- Peter Green, author of Kenneth Grahame, 1859-1932: A Study of His Life, Work, and Times
