About this book
The Wind in the Willows is a classic children's book by Kenneth Grahame, published in 1908.

Through their adventures, the characters discover the importance of home and the pleasures of a peaceful existence. With its charming characters, vivid descriptions of nature, and timeless themes, The Wind in the Willows remains a beloved classic today.
