The Wind in the Willows

“The Wind in the Willows” is a children’s novel by Scottish author Kenneth Grahame, first published in 1908. It tells the story of four anthropomorphized animals—Mole, Rat (a European water vole), Toad, and Badger—living in a pastoral version of Edwardian England. The novel is known for its blend of mysticism, adventure, morality, and camaraderie, and is praised for its vivid portrayal of the Thames Valley’s natural beauty.
