THE CHARMING ADVENTURES OF RAT, MOLE, TOAD – AND BADGER OF COURSE THIS IS ONE OF THE VERY APPEALING CHILDREN’S FANTASY BOOKS published by Barnes & Noble – attractive and very nicely designed leather bounds that are likely to be collected in sets not only for reading enjoyment but also for display on the family bookshelves. Several of them have been issued – internationally loved titles like The Wizard of Oz, The Little Mermaid, Grimm’s Fairy Tales, The Blue Fairy Book, Alice in Wonderland, A Little Princess and other old favorites. Youngsters are certain to enjoy these lovely books – but so will older members of the family who value quality products. THE BOOK BEING OFFERED HERE HAS BEEN A FAVORITE FOR WELL OVER A CENTURY – The Wind in the Willows, the fantasy masterpiece by Kenneth Grahame about the animal characters he imagined in the Thames Valley where he lived as a child in the 19th Century. The story has all the qualities of a great yarn for young readers – adventure, fun, morality, imagination, concern about the welfare of friends, and brilliant writing. It has been adapted for stage and film, including a musical. This tale has a firm place in English literature – notably for its message when Rat takes Mole for a ride in his rowing boat on the river and teaches him that … “there is nothing – absolute nothing – half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats”. THE BOOK WE OFFER HAS BEEN BOUND IN BONDED LEATHER AND IS BRAND NEW, still nestling in its plastic wrapping and never read. Its charming illustrations (see above) are by Nancy Barnhart and the cover design and pond-themed end pages are by Kelly Thorn. The page ends are gilded for an attractive appearance as well as protection of the paper and it has a ribbon sewn-in page-marker so that small readers will not be tempted to bend page corners and spoil the book.
