Kenneth Grahame began to tell the tale of the river bank on the night of his sons fourth birthday but what started out as a short bedtime story soon grew into one of the most enjoyable series of adventures ever to be told in childrens literature. The entertaining exploits of the books four intrepid heroes - Mole Water Rat Badger and the incorrigible Toad - have captured the imagination of generations of children. This beautiful edition is illustrated by renowned picture book artist John Burningham whose wonderfully evocative line drawings marry perfectly with Grahams vivid text. There are twelve glorious full-colour scenes full of detail to enjoy over again and again.
