О овој е-књизи
Kenneth Grahame’s The Wind in the Willows is one of the most popular children’s books. It is liked for its pastoral set up and animal characters. The animals’ interactions among themselves, like those of human beings, bind the readers in many adventurous episodes. The animals’ desire and thrill, capture the readers’ mind. There are many characters, like the Mole, the Rat, the Otter, and the Badger, but the Toad becomes one of the most celebrated and beloved characters of the book. His boisterous attitude ensures fun reading for young and grown-ups alike. The book is worth reading in the series, ‘Young Readers Classic’. Illustrations highlighting the incidents and occasions make the book move attractive.

О аутору
Kenneth Grahame, 1859 - 1932 Kenneth Grahame was born in Edinburgh on March 3, 1859. He was the third of four children. When he was five years old, his mother died of scarlet fever and he nearly died himself, of the same disease. His father became an alcoholic and sent the children to Berkshire to live with relatives. They were later reunited with their father, but after a failed year, the children never heard from him again. Some time later, one of Grahame's brothers died at the age of fifteen. Grahame attended St. Edward's School as a child and intended to go on to Oxford University, but his relatives wanted him to go into banking. He worked in his uncle's office, in Westminster, for two years then went to work at the Bank of England as a clerk in 1879. He spent nearly thirty years there and became the Secretary of the Bank at the age of thirty-nine. Grahame retired from the bank right before "The Wind in the Willows" was published in 1908. Grahame wrote essays on topics that included smoking, walking and idleness. Many of the essays were published as the book "Pagan Papers" (1893) and the five orphan characters featured in the papers were developed into the books "The Golden Age" (1895) and "Dream Days" (1898). "The Wind in the Willows" (1908) was based on bedtime stories and letters to his son and it is where the characters Rat, Badger, Mole and Toad were created. In 1930, Milne's stage version was brought to another audience in "Toad of Toad Hall." On July 6, 1932, Kenneth Grahame died.
