My favorite edition
Charming story following the adventures of four friends: Rat, Mole, Toad, and Badger. Each chapter can stand alone; indeed, often the chapters are broken apart from the while and sold individually to children! This is unfortunate because the chapters do follow sequentially and tell a larger story.
This edition of Wind in the Willows is my favorite. I passed it by, due to price, years ago & regretted my decision. Every other copy I found I compared to this one! Sure, the story is the same, but Tasha Tudor did a phenomenal job on the full color illustrations featured throughout the book. Truly they are works of art. I happily picked up this edition when I came across it again.
The story deserves 4 stars, the illustrations 5 for an average of 4.5 stars.
This is part of the Junior Deluxe Edition Library.
The dust jacket is gorgeous, but the hardcover book looks nice too and is color embossed with the title & four friends on front & back. The spine also features similarly.
