A literary classic and children's favourite for more than four generations, The Wind in the Willows is both beautifully written and richly inventive. Children of all ages adore the anthropomorphised tales of the leading characters: vainglorious, irresponsible Mr Toad, cautious, self-effacing Mole, grumpy old Badger's periodic need to be on his own and Ratty's joy in simply being alive in this wonderful world - especially when "messing about in boats".

Grahame's wryly humorous text follows the foursome through a series of thrilling, funny and sometimes dangerous situations, from riverside picnics and the mysterious dangers of The Wild Wood through Mr Toad's escape from prison, to the climactic attempt by the four friends to take back Toad Hall from the rascally weasels and stoats. The Wind in the Willows is a magical, unique combination and simply tremendous fun, richly deserving its place in the Guardian's list of the 100 Best Books of All Time.

Enhanced with 16 full-page colour plates by the inimitable Arthur Rackham, this is an absolute joy for both parents and children to treasure.
