Produktbeschreibung
"The Wind in the Willows" by Kenneth Grahame is a classic tale that explores the adventures and friendships of anthropomorphic animals living along a riverbank. The story begins with Mole, who, tired of his monotonous life, ventures out and discovers the wonders of the river. He meets Rat, a water-loving rodent, who introduces him to the joys of boating and the beauty of the river. Together, they encounter various characters, including the boastful Toad and the reclusive Badger. Toad, with his ever-changing obsessions, leads the group into a series of misadventures, particularly with his newfound fascination with motorcars, which results in chaos and destruction. Meanwhile, Mole's curiosity about the elusive Badger leads him into the mysterious Wild Wood, where he experiences fear and danger. The narrative is rich with themes of friendship, the allure of adventure, and the comfort of home. Grahame's vivid descriptions and charming characterizations create a whimsical world that captures the imagination. The story is a celebration of the pastoral life and the simple pleasures found in nature, while also offering a gentle critique of modernity and its changes.
Autorenporträt
Kenneth Grahame (8 March 1859 - 6 July 1932) was a Scottish writer born in Edinburgh, Scotland. He is most famous for The Wind in the Willows (1908), one of the classics of children's literature, as well as The Reluctant Dragon. Both books were later adapted for stage and film, of which A. A. Milne's Toad of Toad Hall, based on part of The Wind in the Willows, was the first. Other adaptations include Cosgrove Hall Films' The Wind in the Willows (and its subsequent long-running television series), and the Walt Disney films (The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad and The Reluctant Dragon).
