About the book: 2023 / The story "The Wind in the Willows" (1908) by the English writer Kenneth Grahame (1859 - 1932) - a fairy tale for children and a hint for adults. It was she who brought the author world fame. Her fate is not entirely ordinary. Initially met with misunderstanding by publishers, it went through about a hundred editions in different versions in England and became a classic of children's literature. But with no less pleasure than children, adults read and re-read it, finding in fairy-tale characters from the world of nature instructive pictures of the behavior of small and large people in life situations. Now let's start reading the book.
