Now Mr. Benson has turned to Grahame's original work and created a delightful new edition, in which his magical illustrations give fresh life to Grahame's unforgettable story. The Wind in the Willows is the perfect companion to The Willows in Winter.

Kenneth Grahame erzählte seinem kleinen Sohn Alastair allabendlich vor dem Einschlafen von den phantastischen Abenteuern der Tiere, denen sie während ihrer gemeinsamen Ausflüge in die Natur begegneten - Tiere, die für gewöhnlich wenig Beachtung finden: Maulwurf, Wasserratte, Kröte und Dachs. Grahames Gutenachtgeschichten liegen diesem internationalen Klassiker der Kinderliteratur zu Grunde, der erstmals 1908 erschien und auf Anhieb ein Bestseller wurde. Gut zwanzig Jahre später kamen die wunderbaren Illustrationen von E. H. Shepard hinzu, der bereits A. A. Milnes Winnie-the-Pooh illustriert hatte.Die Geschichte vom Maulwurf und seinen Freunden ging um die Welt. Kein & Aber legt Der Wind in den Weiden nun zum ersten Mal in der Übersetzung von Harry Rowohlt und mit den Originalillustrationen von E. H. Shepard im schönen Großformat vor - eine prächtige Neuausgabe für die ganze Familie.

„Das Goldene Zeitalter" ist eines der frühesten Werke Kenneth Grahames, sein erstes Kinderbuch, und gilt bis heute als Klassiker. In ihm verarbeitet er eigene Kindheitserinnerungen in Geschichten, die mit hintergründigem Humor das Leben von fünf Waisen im viktorianischen England schildern. Die Geschichten brillieren vor allem mit der Zurschaustellung der „geistigen Beschränktheit" Erwachsener, die im krassen Gegensatz steht zur unbekümmerten Lebensfreude der Kinder. Dabei sind die Geschichten durchzogen von Anspielungen auf die griechische Mythologie.Kenneth Grahame (1859–1932) war ein britischer Schriftsteller. Sein bekanntestes Werk „Der Wind in den Weiden" gilt bis heute als eines der wichtigsten Werke der englischsprachigen Kinderliteratur. 1941 wurde eines seiner frühen Kinderbücher – „Der Drache, der nicht kämpfen wollte" – von Walt Disney verfilmt.
