«The Wind in the Willows» is the classic children's novel by Kenneth Grahame published by Ladybird in hardcover (52 pages, in English).
The narrative follows Rat, Mole and Badger in their escapades along the riverbank, and the vain Toad of Toad Hall, whose fondness for automobiles brings him continual mishaps. The coexistence of these animals, amid adventures, humor and lessons of friendship and loyalty, sustains the charm of this classic.

For children aged 5 to 8 and for those beginning to read children's classics.
Kenneth Grahame was a Scottish writer. He is best remembered for the classic of children's literature The Wind in the Willows (1908). Born in Scotland, he spent most of his childhood with his grandmother in England, following the death of his mother and his father's inability to look after the children. After attending St Edward's School in Oxford, his ambition to attend university was thwarted and he joined the Bank of England, where he had a successful career. Before writing The Wind in the Willows, he published three other books: Pagan Papers (1893), The Golden Age (1895), and Dream Days (1898).
