About the Author

Kenneth Grahame was born in Edinburgh on March 3, 1859. When he was five years old, his mother died of scarlet fever and he nearly died himself, of the same disease. His father became an alcoholic and sent the children to Berkshire to live with relatives. They were later reunited with their father, show more but after a failed year, the children never heard from him again. Sometime later, one of his brothers died at the age of fifteen. He attended St. Edward's School as a child and intended to go on to Oxford University, but his relatives wanted him to go into banking. He worked in his uncle's office, in Westminster, for two years then went to work at the Bank of England as a clerk in 1879. He spent nearly thirty years there and became the Secretary of the Bank at the age of thirty-nine. He retired from the bank right before The Wind in the Willows was published in 1908. He wrote essays on topics that included smoking, walking and idleness. Many of the essays were published as the book Pagan Papers (1893) and the five orphan characters featured in the papers were developed into the books The Golden Age (1895) and Dream Days (1898). The Wind in the Willows (1908) was based on bedtime stories and letters to his son and it is where the characters Rat, Badger, Mole and Toad were created. In 1930, Milne's stage version was brought to another audience in Toad of Toad Hall. Grahame died on July 6, 1932. (Bowker Author Biography) show less

The Wind in the Willows (The Folio Society Edition) by Kenneth Grahame

This is such a great book for any age. It does say @ss, kind of often, so small children may freak out, but probably just laugh! Great juvenile story of friendship, curiosity and self control, or lack thereof from Toad, Ratty and a few of their friends. Fun fast and easy read.

Dream Days illustrated by Kenneth Grahame

This book was good for its time I am sure, but I was a little disappointed since I loved Wind and the Willows so much and then read this one. It goes thru a story from a little boys perspective and vast imagination as his day is dramatized in his mind to include a day of adventures fit for a King, keeping in mind his p’s and q’s while his day plays out like different movies, theatrical and bold.
