Kenneth Grahame
Edited by Annie Gauger
"Norton's fine new edition is covetable and informative...the scholar Annie Gauger has uncovered extraordinary new material on Kenneth Grahame..." Erica Wagner, The Times
An instant bestseller on its initial publication in 1908, The Wind in the Willows is one of the greatest books in children’s literature.
Lavishly designed and elegantly laidout, this edition includes all the original illustrations by Paul Bransom, Nancy Barnhart and Wyndham Payne, along with the three illustrations from the first Methuen edition by Grahame Robertson. Also included are illustrations by Arthur Rackham and works by E.H. Shepard, along with rare family photographs.
