Recently, Puffin Classics re-issued a centennial edition of the Kenneth Grahame best-seller, The Wind in the Willows. The special thing about this version? Our man Brian Jacques wrote the introduction to the tale. Besides the obvious reasoning for this choice of author (Mr. Jacques also writes anthropomorphic fantasy tales featuring moles, rats, toads, badgers, hedgehogs and otters), the book has been referred to by Brian many times as a childhood favorite and inspirational in interviews.

  • Recently, Puffin Classics re-issued a centennial edition of the Kenneth Grahame best-seller, The Wind in the Willows. The special thing about this version? Our man Brian Jacques wrote the introduction to the tale. Besides the obvious reasoning for this choice of author (Mr. Jacques also writes anthropomorphic fantasy tales featuring moles, rats, toads, badgers, hedgehogs and otters), the book has been referred to by Brian many times as a childhood favorite and inspirational in interviews. The introduction comes in at about 2 1/2 pages, and there's only so much to say about such brevity, so I figured some choice quotes from Brian would help. Brian describes why he enjoys the story, and the particular characters. If you've never read The Wind in the Willows, check it out. It was originally published 100 years ago, and you can see a bit of Redwall in it too.
