Wind in the Willows

Meek little Mole, wilful Ratty, Badger the perennial bachelor, and petulant, boastful Toad: over one hundred years since their first appearance in 1908, they've become emblematic archetypes of eccentricity, folly and friendship. And their misadventures, in gypsy caravans, stolen sports cars, and their beloved Wild Wood continue to capture readers.

One of the most celebrated works of classic literature for children, Wind in the Willows follows Mole, Rat, Toad and Badger from one adventure to the next—in gipsy caravans, stolen sports cars, to prison and back to the Wild Wood.

A story of animal cunning and human camaraderie, this remains a timeless tale nearly 100 years after its publication.
