«The Wind in the Willows Treasury» is the abridged edition of Kenneth Grahame's children's classic, in hardback (80 pages, in English).
When Mole goes out boating with the Water Rat instead of doing his spring cleaning, he discovers a new world by the river and in the Wild Wood. There too are Badger and Toad, whose passion for fast vehicles drags the group into trains, barges, caravans and motor cars, and even into a battle.
This 1993 edition, published by Dean & Son, features illustrations by Ernest H. Shepard and is based on the original 1908 work.
Aimed at child and young adult readers, it is also suitable for adults who want to rediscover a classic story of English literature.
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).
