Kenneth Grahame was a British writer born in Edinburgh, Scotland. He is most famous for The Wind in the Willows (1908), a classic 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).
"The Wind in the Willows" takes readers on a delightful journey through the English countryside, where they meet the endearing characters of Mole, Rat, Toad, and Badger. Together, they embark on thrilling escapades, navigate the river, and confront the mischievous antics of Toad. This timeless tale of friendship, courage, and the joy of simple pleasures has captivated readers for generations. 
"The Reluctant Dragon" introduces readers to a pacifist dragon who prefers reading poetry and having philosophical discussions rather than engaging in fierce battles. When confronted by a knight, unexpected friendships form, and a heartwarming story of acceptance and understanding unfolds. 
In "The Golden Age," Grahame paints a nostalgic portrait of childhood, evoking a sense of innocence and wonder. Through a series of vignettes, he captures the essence of youthful imagination, adventure, and the magic of everyday experiences. 
"Dream Days" continues the exploration of childhood themes, delving into the realms of fantasy, make-believe, and the power of imagination. These enchanting stories offer a glimpse into a world where anything is possible and where children's dreams become reality.

The Classic Collection of Kenneth Grahame

The Mole had been working very hard all the morning, spring-cleaning his little home. First with brooms, then with dusters; then on ladders and steps and chairs, with a brush and a pail of whitewash; till he had dust in his throat and eyes, and splashes of whitewash all over his black fur, and an aching back and weary arms. Spring was moving in the air above and in the earth below and around him, penetrating even his dark and lowly little house with its spirit of divine discontent and longing. It was small wonder, then, that he suddenly flung down his brush on the floor, said 'Bother!' and 'O blow!' and also 'Hang spring-cleaning!' and bolted out of the house without even waiting to put on his coat. Something up above was calling him imperiously, and he made for the steep little tunnel which answered in his case to the gavelled carriage-drive owned by animals whose residences are nearer to the sun and air.
