Fiction · 1908
The Wind in the Willows
Mole leaves his spring-cleaning and finds the river, and Ratty, and Badger in the Wild Wood, and Toad of Toad Hall, whose passion for motor-cars ends in prison and a battle for his house. Kenneth Grahame wrote the book out of bedtime stories told to his son and published it in 1908; it has never been out of print.
Two books share the covers. One is Toad’s — the caravan, the motor-car, the prison, the washerwoman, the retaking of the Hall — and it is pure farce. The other belongs to the riverbank: Mole underground at Christmas, the Rat pulled southward against his will, and the chapter at the weir, “The Piper at the Gates of Dawn”, which is why the book has never been only for children.
The twelve chapters are given complete.
