description: Kenneth Grahame's The Wind in the Willows is one of the classics of children's literature. First published in 1908, it continues to charm--with its delightful characters, Ratty, Mole, Badger and the exasperating but lovable Toad, its fresh humour and its poetic evocation of the English countryside. This lightly abridged edition is further enhanced by Eric Kincaid's beautiful illustrations. His delicate style, eye for detail and humorous touches add fresh charm to the story. Children will lose themselves in this exciting tale as they look at the enchanting illustrations and listen to highlights from the story on the accompanying CD. This is a perfect introduction to one of the great books of the English language.
