Description
A first edition of one of the most beloved modern children's books, inspired by the bedtime stories that Kenneth Grahame told his son.

The Wind in the Willows follows the bucolic adventures of anthropomorphized animals on the banks of the Thames. The friends' peace is broken when Mr. Toad's obsession with motor-cars leads him down a destructive path. Shenanigans ensue, including grand theft auto, a prison break, a midnight battle and a dreamlike meeting with Pan. The stories of timid Mole, practical Rat, wise Badger and intemperate Mr. Toad remain excellent bedtime reading.
