Product details
The Wind in the Willows is about many things – the changing seasons, the beauty and fragility of nature, the thrill of the open road, and the creeping tide of suburbia – but it is the glorious adventures of Toad, Mole, Ratty and Badger that have enchanted children and their parents for more than a century. Of this Folio edition, author Michael Morpurgo has said, ‘In almost 100 years since its first publication, I doubt there has been a finer edition.’ One of our all-time best-sellers, it features illustrations by Charles van Sandwyk that perfectly evoke the idyllic world of wild wood and riverbank.

The author’s writing style is very enjoyable, and the illustrations are incredibly beautiful. Folio books are works of art in themselves. Thank you very much.

This was purchased as a birthday gift for my granddaughter's first birthday; no she isn't reading yet but my aim is to build up a library of wonderful children's books for when she is reading and to this end I also bought The House at Pooh Corner last Christmas. We are a family of readers & have always treasured books, there will be many to hand down to her and these are beautiful additions. This one is full of gorgeous illustrations and is beautifully presented.

I found some of the more attractive editions of this classic are abridged to omit the Piper at the Gates of Dawn chapter. This is vandalism. This edition is complete and absolutely beautiful.

'The Wind in the Willows' by Kenneth Grahame was originally published in 1908 and has since become a beloved classic in children's literature. Over the years, the book has been reprinted in numerous editions and translated into multiple languages, with countless copies sold worldwide. Many illustrated editions have also been released, featuring artwork from various renowned artists, which adds to the book's charm and timeless appeal. 'The Wind in the Willows' is a delightful story of friendship and adventure, set in the idyllic English countryside. It follows the lives of four animal friends: Mole, Rat, Badger, and the irrepressible Mr. Toad. As the animals navigate the joys and trials of life, they embark on a series of adventures that involve boating, picnics, and the occasional wild car chase—all while exploring themes of friendship, home, and the beauty of nature. I recently purchased 'The Wind in the Willows' and was thoroughly impressed with the quality of the hardbound edition. The book is beautifully bound, with a durable cover that feels premium in every way. The font is perfectly suited for comfortable reading, and the illustrations are simply wonderful, adding to the magic of the story. This edition is an excellent gift for readers of all ages, offering a perfect blend of classic storytelling with exceptional craftsmanship. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to add a timeless work of literature to their collection or to gift to someone special!
