Grahame's reminiscences are notable for their conception "e;of a world where children are locked in perpetual warfare with the adult 'Olympians' who have wholly forgotten how it feels to be young"e;--a theme later explored by J. M. Barrie and other authors.

The story centres around four characters: Rat, Mole, Badger, and Toad who live in pastoral England during the Edwardian era. Originally adapted from bedtime stories Grahame used to tell his young son, "The Wind in the Willows" has become a classic of children's literature enjoyed by millions the world over.

In addition to the delightful tale about the adventures of Mole, Ratty, Badger, and Toad—illustrated in full color by Arthur Rackham—this volume includes more than two dozen short stories from Grahame’s collections The Golden Age (1895) and Dream Days (1898), the latter of which contains Grahame’s most famous short story, “The Reluctant Dragon.” With an emphasis on childhood perspectives and often devoid of adult sentimentalities, Grahame’s stories focus on the concerns of youth—a focus that makes these stories endure in the hearts and minds of today's readers.
