Book Synopsis

Come along on the adventures of Mole, Ratty, Badger, and Toad as they are brought to life for a new generation in this enchanting young reader adaptation of Kenneth Grahame's beloved childhood classic.

"Kate Hindley's illustrations depict the woodland comrades with comical good cheer." --The Wall Street Journal

One spring day, Mole peers out from his underground home to find a marvelous world awaits him. As the seasons pass, he picnics on the riverbank with Ratty, accompanies Toad on a chaotic caravan adventure, and even braves the snowy depths of the fearsome Wild Wood in search of Badger. But when Toad's mischievous ways finally land him in trouble, can his friends come to his rescue and recapture Toad Hall from a gang of sneaky stoats and wheedling weasels?

Featuring high-end finishes, including a foil-inlaid cloth binding, textured jacket, and ribbon bookmark, The Wind in the Willows is a timeless gift book for every child to enjoy and treasure.
