The Wind In The Willows

The Wind in the Willows is a classic children’s novel by British writer Kenneth Grahame, first published in 1908. It follows the riverside adventures of Mole, Ratty, Badger, and the impulsive Mr. Toad in the English countryside. The linked tales explore friendship, home, nature, adventure, and responsibility. Much of the story centres on Toad’s reckless obsession with motorcars, which leads to imprisonment and the takeover of Toad Hall by weasels, stoats, and ferrets.
