The Wind in the Willows is a 1908 children's novel by Scottish novelist Kenneth Grahame (1859-1932). Alternately slow-moving and fast-paced, it focuses on four animals: Mole, Rat (a European water vole), Toad, and Badger, in a pastoral version of Edwardian England. The novel is notable for its mixture of mysticism, adventure, morality, and camaraderie, and celebrated for its evocation of the nature of the Thames Valley.
The novel was a best-seller at the time, and it is still a best-seller. It has been adapted for the stage and screen innumerable times.
