Taking a breather from heavy reading with Wind in the Willows. What a gentle joy to revisit it.

LOVE TWITW. I also got a lovely edition of another Kenneth Graeme classic, Dream Days, for Christmas.

I keep seeing the abridged version of this at my local Chapters, but haven’t had time to pick up a full version of the book. Has anyone seen the gorgeous Folio Society edition?

David

yep, and I also love the everyman edition with Arthur Rackham’s illustrations, and the Usborne Illustrated Originals version (cloth cover, not padded.)

David I’ve never seen the Everyman edition, but if it is as beautiful as the Folio Society edition, I am insanely jealous of anyone who has it in their personal library!

David

Tiffany I’ve only seen the Folio edition once up close, so I don’t remember it perfectly. The Everyman Children’s Classics one is clothbound and quite affordable-probably not as much of a “luxury” edition as the folio one, but Rackham’s illustrations never disappoint. And my edition of Grahame’s Dream Days (the one I mentioned above that I got for Christmas) is by the Folio Society, and is, as you’d expect from them, quite beautiful.

Lovely idea! Reading should be first and foremost a joy

I too read classic Children’s books for a change of pace.

The Piper at the Gates of Dawn chapter is sublime…
