About the author

Kenneth Grahame was a British writer. He is best remembered for the classic of children's literature The Wind in the Willows (1908). Scottish by birth, he spent most of his childhood with his grandmother in England, following the death of his mother and his father's inability to look after the children. After attending St Edward's School in Oxford, his ambition to attend university was thwarted and he joined the Bank of England, where he had a successful career. Before writing The Wind in the Willows, he published three other books: Pagan Papers (1893), The Golden Age (1895), and Dream Days (1898).

Reviews

[Cristina Quattrone · Rating 5 out of 5]

So cozy and a great depiction of optimism vs pessimism for the classroom

[Adrian · Rating 3 out of 5]

Rat and Mole were strolling through tow. Seeing the people safe inside their cosy homes made Mole feel sad.

Tania and I do love a pop-up book and this classic collection of children's books from 1988 was a spectacular charity shop find.

The story of The Wind in the Willows is a classic, known throughout the world and although short, this pop-up is entirely charming. I look forward to reading the others.
