The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame (BARNES & NOBLE edition)

First published in 1908, The Wind in the Willows chronicles the adventures of four friends drawn together by their love of the Thames River valley: mild-mannered Mole, refined Ratty, solitary Badger, and irascible and reckless Toad. More than a century after Kenneth Grahame first imagined his tale as bedtime stories to tell his son, The Wind in the Willows remains one of the best-loved classics of children's literature. This edition is illustrated with the full-color art of Nancy Barnhart, reprinted from the book's first American edition.

The Wind in the Willows is one of Barnes & Noble's Collectible Editions classics for children. It features classic illustrations, an elegant bonded-leather binding, distinctive gilt edging, and a ribbon bookmark. Decorative, durable, and collectible, these books offer hours of pleasure to readers young and old and are an indispensable cornerstone for any home library.
