Wind in the Willows and Other Stories

A timeless collection of stories told with a focus on children’s perspectives. 

Kenneth Grahame’s The Wind in the Willows is an enduring classic of children’s literature, and has been beloved by readers of all ages since its publication in 1908. 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. 
 

O colectie atemporala de povesti spuse cu accent pe perspectivele copiilor. Vantul in salcii al lui Kenneth Grahame este un clasic de durata al literaturii pentru copii si a fost indragit de cititorii de toate varstele de la publicarea sa in 1908. Pe langa povestea incantatoare despre aventurile lui Mole, Ratty, Badger si Toad - ilustrata in toata culoarea lui Arthur Rackham - acest volum include mai mult de doua duzini de nuvele din colectiile lui Grahame Epoca de aur (1895) si Zilele viselor (1898), cea din urma continand cea mai faimoasa nuvela a lui Grahame, „Dragonul reticent”. Cu accent pe perspectivele copilariei si deseori lipsite de sentimentalitati ale adultilor, povestile lui Grahame se concentreaza pe preocuparile tinerilor - un accent care face ca aceste povesti sa reziste in inimile si mintile cititorilor de astazi.
