About the Book

'There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats.' From picnics by the riverbank to the battle for Toad Hall, the adventures of Mole, Ratty, Badger and the mischievous Mr Toad have delighted generations of readers. Rediscover Kenneth Grahame's timeless classic in this beautiful new edition, illustrated by Kate Greenaway Medal winner, Grahame Baker-Smith.

About the Author :
Kenneth Grahame (Author) Kenneth Grahame was born in Scotland in 1859. After the death of his mother he was sent to live with his grandparents in Berkshire and attended school in Oxford. On leaving school he worked at the Bank of England and also wrote articles and stories which he submitted to many publications. He married in 1899 and had a son, Alastair. His best-known story, The Wind in the Willows, was published in 1908. After the sudden death of his son, Grahame was grief-stricken and became reclusive. He died in 1932 and is buried in Oxford. Grahame Baker-Smith (Illustrator) Grahame is a self-taught illustrator from Oxford who completed his training at Berkshire School of Art. He has worked in illustration for twenty years and in 2011 won the Greenaway Medal for his inspiring tale of fatherhood, FARTHER. He has illustrated two other picture books for Templar: the Greenaway shortlisted Leon and the Place Between and The Winter's Child.

Review :
Both the high quality of the illustration and the way this has been presented make it an edition to treasure. A beautiful copy of a classic which would make a beautiful present this holiday season. Most, if not many, of us are all-too familiar with Kenneth Grahame's charming tale of the Wind In The Willows, and fondly remember the beautiful illustrations by E. H. Shepard, Charles Van Sandwyck and Arthur Rackham - depending on the copy of the book read to you by your parents, carers or Grandparents. @templarbooks has published this classic tale once more, this time with the breathtakingly beautiful illustrations of Grahame Baker-Smith, and the result is utterly magical. This version of the story is in hard back, with a green cloth-bound cover and gold foil debossing, which makes the overall feel and appearance of the book even more special. As soon as you turn the pages you discover that the book is sprinkled with the most incredible illustrations throughout - some in sepia, others in colour and several in monochrome. The depth and the detail to Baker-Smith's art is astounding and, in turn, portrays the original tale in greater depth and detail than I had ever encountered as a child. My children were spellbound and utterly captivated by the beauty of a classic, which is sadly somewhat unusual nowadays, and this makes for a very special edition to gift to a young child as a keepsake. What a wonderful gift to find under the Christmas tree this year - it will certainly add a special touch of magic to a young person's day. Beautiful ? RRP: £14.99. Available to purchase online and from all good booksellers.
