About the Book

Kenneth Grahame's classic comes alive in a gorgeous, annotated homage to this beloved masterpiece.

An instant bestseller on its initial publication in 1908, The Wind in the Willows has become one of the greatest books in children’s literature. Hundreds of illustrations, including famous images by EH Shepard and Arthur Rackham, illuminate the adventures of Mole, Mr. Toad, Badger, Otter, River Rat, and all our other favorite characters. In addition to remarkable notes on automobiles (Toad drove an Armstrong Hardcastle Special Eight), picnics, Gypsies, caravans, old English mansions, peculiar dukes, and even modern manifestations (Disney's 'Mr. Toad's Wild Ride'), scholar Annie Gauger has uncovered extraordinary new material on Kenneth Grahame, his troubled family life, and the origins of the story. Her preface puts Grahame's work in historical and literary context, and she provides biographies of all the illustrators. With a stirring introduction by Brian Jacques, The Annotated Wind in the Willows promises to become the authoritative edition of this classic work, published just in time to honor the author's 150th birthday.



About the Author :
Annie Gauger studied at Oxford University and has been researching Grahame's papers in the Bodle­ian Library and the Harry Ransom Center for more than ten years. She lives in Randolph, Massachusetts.

Brian Jacques is the best-selling author of the Redwall series.

Review :
"[Gauger] by far [is] the more extensive and detailed of the two annotators." -- Charles McGrath - The New York Times "[Jacques' introduction is] a paean to the story and its heroes that is in delightful harmony with the book's spirit...richly illustrated throughout." -- Katherine A. Powers - Boston Globe "Beautiful." -- Meghan Cox Gurdon - National Review "[I]nsights that burnish the book...enrich the experience of reading the book...it's the introduction...that give[s] us a new relationship to the story." -- Jeremy McCarter - Newsweek "[Gauger] provides revealing insights into the psychological and social genesis of The Wind in the Willows...illuminating...analysis of the pictures...lovers of The Wind in the Willows are surely indebted to Ms. Gauger's work, and her readers will love seeing illustrations from so many editions." -- Claire Hopley - Washington Times "[A] superlative book...It is the ultimate desk-bound person's fantasy scheme." -- Roger Lewis - The Daily Express "A beautiful and fascinating book which surely must become the definitive edition for any lovers of Kenneth Grahame. Annie Gauger has produced a lavish and scholarly work which still allows us to enjoy the original story without all the incredible research feeling unnecessarily intrusive." -- John O'Farrell
