The Wind in the Willows Reviews

I loved the book and did not want the characters' adventures to come to an end. -- 11-year-old Beth * Anorak *
This is perhaps my favourite edition of this classic tale. Inga Moore's illustrations bring to life the English countryside with such light, depth and beauty that she created the perfect setting for the story. The characters [...] are brilliantly brought to life. * Cotswold Preview *

About Kenneth Grahame

Kenneth Grahame was born in 1859 and wrote fiction and fantasy for children. He is most famous for The Wind in the Willows (1908), which is considered to be one of the greatest classics of children's literature. He also wrote The Reluctant Dragon which was later adapted to a Disney movie. With a career in illustration spanning over 30 years, Inga Moore is a highly distinguished author and illustrator of children's books, who has illustrated numerous classics to much critical acclaim, including Kenneth Grahame's The Wind in the Willows, Frances Hodgson Burnett's The Secret Garden and Oscar Wilde's The Canterville Ghost. Her other picture book titles include A House in the Woods, Captain Cat and the award-winning title, Six Dinner Sid, which continues to grace bookshop shelves 20 years on from publication. Born in Sussex but raised in Australia, Inga returned to England as an adult and now lives in Herefordshire.
