WIND IN THE WILLOWS AND OTHER STORIES

With illustrations by the wonderful Arthur Rackham in original sepia and colour on the endpapers, this mock leather bright yellow flexibound edition has embossed favourite phrases from these classic texts on the cover. "Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats." "He trailed a paw in the water and dreamed long waking dreams." "There seemed to be no end to this wood, and no beginning." Told with a focus on children's perspectives, this timeless collection has been beloved by readers of all ages since its publication in 1908. In addition to the delightful tale about the adventures of Mole, Ratty, Badger, and Toad, this edition includes more than two dozen short stories from 'The Golden Age' (1895) and 'Dream Days' (1898), the latter containing 'The Reluctant Dragon' short story. Gift edition, very collectable, 358 pages, colour illus.
