This carefully crafted ebook: "Wind in the Willows (Illustrated)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. The Wind in the Willows is a children's novel by Kenneth Grahame: With the arrival of spring and fine weather outside, the good-natured Mole loses patience with spring cleaning. He flees his underground home, emerging to take in the air and ends up at the river, which he has never seen before. Here he meets Rat (a water vole), who at this time of year spends all his days in, on and close by the river. Rat takes Mole for a ride in his rowing boat. They get along well and spend many more days boating, with Rat teaching Mole the ways of the river…. The novel is notable for its mixture of mysticism, adventure, morality, and camaraderie. Kenneth Grahame (1859-1932) was a British writer, most famous for The Wind in the Willows (1908), one of the classics of children's literature. He also wrote The Reluctant Dragon; both books were later adapted into Disney films.

Language: English . Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****. Continues to stand the test of time.When I was very young (about six thousand years ago), our school master used to read to us from Wind in the Willows. The stories had a magical quality and, as a somewhat older person, I got to wondering whether they would still have that sense of enchantment that held us so captivated all those years ago. I was NOT disappointed. Toad was just as cantankerous and difficult as ever. Badger, Rat and Mole were just as supportive - just as memorable. Badger is unpredictable but protective (and sometimes mean). Mole is timid and shy. Rat is courageous and romantic. And who could ever forget those dreadful gun-toting weasels, ferrets and stoats glorying in their take-over of Toad Hall? Wind in the Willows is a true masterpiece of allegory with endless moral lessons disguised as a childrens story. It is also a lesson in things long-forgotten. the glory of floating noiselessly down a river at dawn, past loosestrife, willowherb, bulrushes and meadowsweet. How many of us have even heard of these meadow plants, never mind seen them. But it doesnt matter, because it evokes nostalgia either for things long-forgotten or for things never-known. At a childs level, Wind in the Willows is about friendship and about life in an imagined world centered around the river. At a less innocent level, Wind in the Willows draws many parallels with life, though Kenneth Grahame managed to avoid preaching his lessons. Not the least of Grahams parables is that the bigger they are, the harder they fall because Toad is as egotistical and as self-important as they come until being thrown in jail for borrowing a car. After that, its all downhill for Toad, and it is only thanks to the loyalty of his friends that he regains some of his position in society - though not before learning a little humility first. Though, at an older age, we pretend to be more sophisticated, at heart we always hold out the hope of a return to innocence and simple adventures. We are still (most of us) perfectly capable of identifying with the animals and the idea, as one reviewer put it, of two school-aged hedgehogs frying ham for a mole and a water rat, in a badgers kitchen does my imagination no harm whatsoever! If youre looking for laser guns and hi-tech wars, W-i-t-W is NOT the book to buy. If youre after something a little more gentle (and a little more intelligent) Wind in the Willows is an outstanding example of a Classic that continues to withstand the test of time.
