The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame
Meek little Mole, wilful Ratty, Badger the perennial bachelor, and petulant, boastful Toad: over one hundred years since their first appearance in 1908, they've become emblematic archetypes of eccentricity, folly and friendship. And their misadventures, in gypsy caravans, stolen sports cars, and their beloved Wild Wood continue to capture readers.
“It is what I call a Household Book. . a book which everybody in the household loves, and quotes continually ever afterwards; a book which is read aloud to every new guest.”
–A. A. Milne
–A. A. Milne
