THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS

The Wind in the Willows is a 1908 children's novel by Scottish novelist Kenneth Grahame (1859-1932). Alternately slow-moving and fast-paced, it focuses on four animals: Mole, Rat (a European water vole), Toad, and Badger, in a pastoral version of Edwardian England. The novel is notable for its mixture of mysticism, adventure, morality, and camaraderie, and celebrated for its evocation of the nature of the Thames Valley.

The novel was a best-seller at the time, and it is still a best-seller. It has been adapted for the stage and screen innumerable times.

No price on the dust jacket, which is unclipped.

The original owner's bookplate is on the inside front cover, but that can easily come off. There is the beginning of darkening to the edges of the pages.

But the book has not been read and there are no marks of any kind in it or on it.

Lovely book.
