by Kenneth Grahame, illustrated by Robert Ingpen

 

Loyal Mole, resourceful Rat and wise Badger must try to change Toad's extravagant ways before he gets into trouble...again!

 

Kenneth Grahame began writing as a hobby and wrote parts of The Wind in the Willows originally in letter form to his young son Alistair whose excesses of behavior had similarities with Toad.

Robert Ingpen studied illustration in Melbourne and has designed, illustrated and written more than one hundred published works of fiction and non-fiction. In 1986 he was awarded the coveted Hans Christian Andersen Medal for his contribution to children's literature.

 

This is a beautifully illustrated edition of an all-time classic that will hold pride of place on your child's bookshelf for years to come.

 

This edition of Wind in the willows was shortlisted for the 2008 Australian Book Industry Awards - Book of the Year for Older Children.
