Description

It's never too soon to share your favourite classics with the next generation... This edition of The Wind in the Willows has been adapted for younger readers and features: - Simplified text - A child-friendly layout, designed for young readers - Full-colour illustrations by award-winning artist Robert Ingpen. When the Mole leaves his spring-cleaning and heads up into the open air, he embarks on a series of exhilarating adventures with his new friends: the laid-back Ratty, the gruff yet kindly Badger and the self-satisfied, irrepressible Mr. Toad. The impulsive Toad leads the friends from one escapade to the next - from upturned gypsy caravans to stolen motorcars, a daring prison escape and, finally, to a heroic confrontation with the sinister inhabitants of the Wild Wood. A full-colour illustrated edition of one of the world's best loved stories. 'Ingpen's drawings are utterly compelling' - Michael Morpurgo
