The Wind In The Willows( Series - Penguin Classics )

This edition of the most celebrated works of classic children's literature includes an Introduction and notes by children's literature historian Gillian Avery, and an appendix of Grahame's original letters to his son about the adventures of Toad.

When Kenneth Grahame first entertained his son with letters about a petulant character named Toad, he had no way of knowing that his creationatogether with his friends Mole, Rat, and Badgerawould delight children for nearly 100 years. Here they are once more, pursuing adventure in gypsy caravans, stolen sportscars, and prison, but always returning to their beloved Wildwood. And although Grahameas characters are unmistakably animals, they remain endearingly human in their eccentricity, folly, and friendship.
