Before the publication of The Wind in the Willows, Kenneth Grahame's reputation was quite different. He was known both as a writer of delicately observed essays on childhood, and as an exquisite stylist, whose essays on adult subjects were pithy and distinctive exercises in wit. Pagan Papers was the collection with which he established his name in 1893. In The Romance of the Rail he is torn between the joy of a train's night-whistle - the dreams of discovery it heralds, and the realisation of the 'crowning wrong that is wrought us of furnace and piston-rod'; in Loafing he muses over pleasures of mind and their indolent harmony, contrasting them with the 'corporeal pangs' of the thirst for activity; in The Rural Pan he bemoans the advent of dull and good suburban behaviour, relishing that there are still hidden country places where the cheery simple sinner still survives; in Of Smoking he offers a paean to the more refined (non-cigarette) delectations of tobacco; in The White Poppy he guardedly discusses opium's healing 'magic juice of oblivion'; and in Justifiable Homicide he gleefully considers the merits of bumping off irritating relatives! In these, and twelve other brilliant excursions here, where he leads us through the lures and dangers of books, the open road, the countryside, and all the varieties of sensual pleasure, Grahame's consummate style and elegant language mark him out as a master.

Jak báječně by si Krtek a Krysík lebedili v bytečku u řeky, která si tak líně plyne odnikud nikam, kdyby... Kdyby si majitel blízkého Žabihradu, neblaze proslulý (oboj)živel a poděs pan Žabák, nehrál na závodníka Formule 1 a netropil alotria, že i pobouřený Jezevec vylezl z nory. Kdyby na světě nebyli sousedi, jak by se tu panečku žilo... Kenneth Grahame komentuje anglický způsob života se skotskou vzdorností, až z toho lordi blednou, lůza rudne a čtenář se řehtá. Autorova pohádka o zvířatech v nás pochází ze zlatého věku secese, je však stále moderní svou poťouchlostí, často i ztřeštěností. Piráti silnic i strojvůdci parních lokomotiv v ní sviští rychlostí větru krajinou sladkého domova a padouši v temnotě lesa kují pikle, neboť uhlazený ostrovní způsob života se jim z lasičí duše příčí. A přestože zde bude svedena velkolepá bitva, až budou chlupy lítat, vyrovná se tento klenot světové literatury pro děti a mládež humorně něžným příhodám Medvídka Pú. Souzní s nimi přece myšlenkou: s řádem a spořádaností není radno hazardovat už jen proto, že nic šikovnějšího doteď nikdo nevymyslel.

The Golden Age and Dream Days - exquisite evocations of childhood far removed from the adult 'Olympian' world - show his remarkably delicate appreciation of the minds of children. Grahame's masterpiece, The Wind in the Willows, written originally to entertain his son, has enchanted successive generations with its Arcadian vision and has become a literary classic. The book includes an introduction by Naomi Lewis.

Der Wind in den Weiden von Kenneth Grahame erzählt von Maulwurf, Wasserrat, Dachs und dem schelmischen Dachs, die ein ruhiges Leben am Ufer der Themse mit ihren tierischen Freunden führen. Doch der Dachs gerät oft in Schwierigkeiten, und seine Leidenschaft für Autos führt schließlich dazu, dass er gefangen genommen und als hilfloser Gefangener im entferntesten Kerker des am besten bewachten Schlosses des Landes gehalten wird. Verkleidet als Wäscherin und mit Hilfe seiner Freunde gelingt es dem Dachs, aus dem Schloss zu entkommen und seine Reise zurück nach Toad Hall zu beginnen. Der Wind in den Weiden ist ein Buch für diejenigen, "die den Geist der Jugend in sich lebendig halten; von Leben, Sonnenschein, fließendem Wasser, Wäldern, staubigen Straßen und Winterfeuern." So schrieb Kenneth Grahame über seine zeitlose Geschichte von Rat, Maulwurf, Dachs und Dachs.
