"A world of innocence and simplicity too soon left behind." Daily Mail

About the Author

Inga Moore says that illustrating Kenneth Grahames famous story was both great fun and a great challenge. "THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS is such a wonderful book that I never tire of reading it. I couldnt possibly let it down, so I had to do my best work ever." Of the wayward Mr. Toad, she adds, "He is a celebration of the life we would lead if only we could."
