The Wind in the Willows is about many things – the changing ­seasons, the beauty and fragility of nature, the thrill of the open road, and the creeping tide of suburbia – but it is the ­glorious adventures of Toad, Mole, Ratty and Badger that have enchanted children and their parents for over a century.

Of this Folio edition, author Michael Morpurgo has said ‘In almost 100 years since its first publication, I doubt there has been a finer edition.’ One of our all-time bestsellers, it features new illustrations by Charles van Sandwyk that perfectly evoke the idyllic world of wild wood and riverbank.
