Autorenporträt
Kenneth Grahame (1859-1932) was a Scottish author of children's literature. Following the death of his mother at a young age, Grahame was sent to live with his grandmother in Berkshire, England, in a home near the River Thames. Unable to study at Oxford due to financial reasons, Grahame embarked on a career with the Bank of England, eventually retiring to devote himself to writing. An early exposure to nature and wildlife formed a lasting impression on Grahame, who would return to the Thames Valley of his youth throughout his literary career-most notably in his novel The Wind in the Willows (1908), which is considered his finest achievement and a masterpiece of children's fiction.
