THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS

PAINTING 008 - (nearly taken directly from wikipedia) The Wind in the Willows is a classic of children's literature written in 1908 by Kenneth Grahame. The book was originally published without illustrations. Over the years, many illustrated versions have appeared. The most popular are probably E. H. Shepard's, originally published in 1931. They are believed to be authorized, as Grahame was pleased with the initial sketches, but he did not live to see the completed work, or mine. wink, wink, nudge, nudge.
