Specificatii
Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing--absolutely
nothing--half so much worth doing as simply messing about in
boats.--the Water Rat to the Mole An instant bestseller upon its
initial publication in 1908, The Wind in the Willows has become one
of the beloved stories of all time. How could Ratty and Mole have
known when they took to the river over one hundred years ago that
they would begin a phenomenon that would produce one of the most
oft-quoted lines in British literature, and inspire everyone from
the creator of Winnie-the-Pooh to Pink Floyd? Drawing from more
than a decade of research, Annie Gauger, one of the world's leading
experts on Kenneth Grahame and The Wind in the Willows, now
presents a fascinating new annotated edition that reintroduces
readers to Otter, curmudgeonly Badger, and rollicking, boastful
Toad, while revealing the secrets behind this treasured classic.
InThe Annotated Wind in the Willows, readers will discover the
sheer joy of the original text, restored to the original 1908
version, illustrated with hundreds of full-color images--including
the beloved drawings by E. H. Shepard and Arthur Rackham. This
edition also includes Shepard's famous map of the Wild Wood and
rarely seen images by illustrators Graham Robertson, Paul Bransom,
Nancy Barnhart, and Wyndham Payne. In an illuminating preface,
Gauger explains how Grahame came to write the novel, which began as
a bedtime story and then became a series of letters he wrote to his
son, Alastair. This edition reproduces the original letters in
their entirety and includes nearly a thousand delightful
annotations on everything from automobiles (Toad drove an Armstrong
Hardcastle Special Eight) and early motorcar etiquette to modern
manifestations (Disneyland's Mr. Toad's Wild Ride). She reveals how
William John Cavendish Bentinck-Scott, the peculiar Fifth Duke of
Portland, built an extensive network of underground tunnels, thus
inspiring the character of Badger, and she puts Grahame's work in
literary context, comparing him to Dickens, Rudyard Kipling, A. A.
Milne, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Finally, new to this edition,
long buried in the Kenneth Grahame papers, are the notes, letters,
and writings by Alastair Grahame and his governess, including
several pieces by Kenneth Grahame himself that have never been
published before With a stunning, lyrical tribute to Grahame by
Brian Jacques, the internationally best-selling author of
theRedwall series, The Annotated Wind in the Willows should prove a
most beautiful and enduring tribute to Grahame's masterpiece.
