One of the best-known classics of children's literature, a timeless masterpiece & a vital portrait of an age, The Wind in the Willows began originally in Kenneth Grahame's letters to his young son, where he first recounted the adventures of Rat & Badger, of Mole & Toad--all narrated in virtuoso language ranging from lively parody to elaborate fin-de-si�cle mysticism. 

Yet for a children's book, it is concerned almost exclusively with adult themes: fear of radical changes in political, social, & economic power.
