Synopses & Reviews
The first volume of the new CLASSICS ILLUSTRATED DELUXE series presents graphic novelist Michel Plessixs lush adaptation of “The Wind in the Willows” by Kenneth Grahame. The artwork is in aquarelle, with thin, precise, detailed lines. In Wind in the Willows, Plessix breathes life into Mole, Rat, and Toad (of Toad Hall) as they picnic on the riverbank, indulge in Toad's latest fad, and get lost in Wild Wood. The pacing is masterful: each panel lingers just long enough to make you appreciate the simple pleasures of life.
Review
"[L]ovely and sweet, one of the best adaptations of a novel into the comics form that I've ever seen....[A] massive triumph. If the series goes on to be half this good consistently, it will be absolutely wonderful." Andrew Wheeler, Comic Mix
