Experience the timeless story of Toad, Rat, Mole, and Badger in this beautiful unabridged edition designed and illustrated by New York Times best-selling and Eisner Award-winning creator David Petersen (Mouse Guard).

Painstakingly completed over three years, this exquisite and lavish edition features 20 colour illustrations and over 50 pen and ink drawings throughout.

Begun as a series of letters from Kenneth Grahame to his son, The Wind in the Willows is a timeless tale of animal cunning and human camaraderie. Since its first publication in 1908, generations of adults and children have cherished this world of gurgling rivers and whispering reeds, home to the most lovable creatures in all literature—Rat, Mole, Badger, and the irrepressible Toad of Toad Hall, with his goggles, overcoat, and love of fast cars. Follow these little adventurers through caravans, stolen sports cars, and their Wild Wood.
