The Wind In The Willows

Paintings by Mary Jane Begin.

For nearly a century, steadfast friends Mole, Rat, Badger and Toad have enchanted and entertained readers around the world with their adventures - rowing on the river, delving into the sinister Wild Wood, and exploring the open road.

Now Kenneth Grahame's time honoured work comes to life as never before in 30 of Mary Jane Begin's inspired full-colour paintings. From the friends picnic on a river bank to their final rousing defence of Toad Hall, Begin's cheerful, sparkling art captures all the magic and merriment of the enduring classic.

Here is a deluxe edition that belongs on every child's bookshelf.
