| 1 | The Wind in the Willows (Unabridged) | Kenneth Grahame |
| The Wind in the Willows is a pastoral fantasy by Scottish writer Kenneth Grahame, first published in 1908. By turns slow moving and fast paced, it focuses on four anthropomorphised animals: Mole, Rat, Toad, and Badger. They live in a rural version of Edwardian England. The novel is notable for its mixture of mysticism, adventure, morality, and camaraderie. It is universally celebrated for its charming evocation of the Thames Valley countryside. Author Kenneth Grahame described his timeless tale as: "...a book for those who keep the spirit of youth alive in them; of life, sunshine, running water, woodlands, dusty roads, winter firesides.” The story's classical themes and timeless archetypes make it one of the finest books for young people ever written, while Grahame's mastery of the English language makes it a joy for adults. |
