WIND IN THE WILLOWS, THE - Bantam

Since its first publication in 1908, generations of adults and children have cherished Kenneth Grahame's classic, The Wind in the Willows. For in this entrancing, lyrical world of gurgling rivers and whispering reeds live four of the wisest, wittiest, noblest and most lovable creatures in literature- Rat, Mole, Badger and Toad of Toad Hall. Like true adventures, they glory in life's simplest pleasures and natural wonders. But it is Toad, cocky, irrepressible in his goggles and overcoat, whose passion for motorcars represents the free and fearless spirit in all of us; as it is Toad's downfall that inspires the others to test Grahame's most precious theme - the miracle of loyalty and friendship.
