In 1908, British children’s author Kenneth Grahame brought readers The Wind in the Willows, a novel now considered a children’s classic. It was to his son that Grahame first told the stories of Mr. Toad, Mole, and Rat, which later became The Wind in the Willows. Grahame is regarded as an author with a remarkable understanding of childhood, which imbues his works with lasting appeal.
