«El Viento en los Sauces» is the classic children's novel by Kenneth Grahame, published by Anaya in hardback (222 pages, in Spanish).
The novel recounts the adventures of Mole, Rat, Badger and Mr. Toad across the English countryside: riverside rambles, forays into the Wild Wood, Mr. Toad's motor car and all manner of scrapes that test their friendship. A tale of loyalty and camaraderie among animals, told with humour and sensitivity.
This 1983 edition includes illustrations by Harry Hargreaves; the cover shows the four protagonists in rural scenes.
Recommended for readers aged 9 to 12, though the humour and nostalgic outlook also resonate with adults.
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).
