The Wind in the Willows: Illustrated Gift Edition

Timeless adventure beautifully reimagined for a new generation

Meet Mole, Ratty, Toad and Badger in this stunning gift edition of a story that has enchanted children for over a century. When Mole peers out from his underground home one spring day, a marvellous world awaits him above.

As the seasons pass, he picnics on the riverbank with Ratty, accompanies the irrepressible Toad on a chaotic caravan adventure, and even braves the snowy depths of the fearsome Wild Wood in search of Badger. But when Toad's mischievous ways finally land him in trouble, can his friends come to the rescue and recapture Toad Hall from a gang of sneaky stoats and wheedling weasels?

This thoughtfully abridged edition brings Kenneth Grahame's distinctive voice to younger readers through Lou Peacock's sensitive retelling, accompanied by Kate Hindley's vibrant, expressive illustrations. From the colours of fields and riverbank to the cosy warmth of Badger's underground home, every page brings the beloved characters to life with charm and energy. With sumptuous details including cloth binding, foil cover, textured paper jacket, ribbon marker and head and tail bands, this is a book to treasure and return to again and again.

Suitable for children aged 5 years and up
