The Wind in the Willows

GRAHAME, Kenneth / RACKHAM, Arthur

GRAHAME, Kenneth The Wind in the Willows

Methuen, 1950.

First UK edition illustrated by Rackham. 8vo. Green cloth with gilt titles on the spine. Introduction by A.A. Milne. Twelve colour plates and fifteen illustrations in line. A fine copy with small marks to endpapers, in a near fine pictorial dustwrapper with just trivial wear to spine ends but an unusually fresh copy.

Kenneth Grahame asked Rackham to illustrate his book, but it was not until many years later that Rackham was able to take on the task. By this time the author had died. His widow accompanied Arthur Rackham to some of the spots on the Thames which had inspired her husband to write the tale. Arthur Rackham's illustrations of trees have always been amongst his most striking and memorable, the ones he draws here for the Thames-side tale are no different.
