The entertaining exploits of the book's four intrepid heroes--Mole, Water Rat, Badger, and the incorrigible Toad--have captured the imagination of generations of children. This beautiful edition is illustrated by renowned picture book artist John Burningham, whose wonderfully evocative line drawings marry perfectly with Graham's vivid text. There are 12 glorious full-color scenes, full of detail, to enjoy over again and again.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Kenneth Grahame</b> developed the character of Toad in <i>The Wind in the Willows</i> to amuse his young son, Alistair.
