Synopsis

Mole, Rat, and Badger are Toad’s dearest friends even as the aristocratic amphibian’s wastrel ways get him into trouble. After being arrested and sentenced to jail, he returns to his ancestral home of Toad Hall to find it overrun with stoats and weasels from the Wild Wood. But his friends haven’t abandoned him yet. In fact, they’ve conspired to help drive the villainous vermin from his home.

Embracing themes of empathy and friendship under the most trying conditions, The Wind in the Willows follows the journey of its anthropomorphic characters through the changing seasons of the English countryside while providing life lessons that have endured for generations.

À propos de l'auteur

Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, Kenneth Grahame (1859–1932) spent his childhood in Cookham, England, along the River Thames and near Quarry Wood, the inspirational and idyllic setting for his most famous book, The Wind in the Willows, published in 1908. As a young man, he worked for the Bank of England while writing stories for periodicals that were eventually published under his own name in three collections: Pagan Papers (1893), The Golden Age (1895), and Dream Days (1898)―this latter volume containing the well-known story “The Reluctant Dragon.”
