The Wind in the Willows, born from the stories Kenneth Grahame told his son at night, quickly became a classic of children's literature and remains a cult work in the English-speaking world today. The anthropomorphic animals that star in this story represent the moral behaviors and social classes of the era, yet remain relevant today. The River Bank, the embodiment of the known and safe, and the Wide World, representing the unknown and dangerous, as well as freedom, are the main settings for this tale about the charm of simple living and friendship.
Kenneth Grahame was a Scottish writer. He is best remembered for the classic of children's literature The Wind in the Willows (1908). Born in Scotland, he spent most of his childhood with his grandmother in England, following the death of his mother and his father's inability to look after the children. After attending St Edward's School in Oxford, his ambition to attend university was thwarted and he joined the Bank of England, where he had a successful career. Before writing The Wind in the Willows, he published three other books: Pagan Papers (1893), The Golden Age (1895), and Dream Days (1898).
