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.

This book is so beautiful. It brings back memories of my childhood and what it was like reading my grandparents books. These are special in every way.

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.
