The Wind in the Willows

Product Information

Kenneth Grahame's classic children's stories, which depict the adventures of the amiable Mole and the Water Rat and the comic misadventures of the wayward Toad, are collected in this beautiful volume. Carefully abridged by the artist herself, this version of the beloved stories is instantly accessible to a young picture book readership. After leaving school, Moore took a variety of jobs. Raymond Briggs’s book Father Christmas (1973) inspired her to want to illustrate books, and she began to look for work as an illustrator. [2] An early work, Aktil’s Big Swim (1980), tells the story of a Dover mouse who decides to swim the English Channel, not understanding how wide it is.

This story “looks” like this, and not in any other way.” (Which is of course objectionable, but also very valid; and, frankly speaking, I must say that I love the illustrations as much as the tale itself –and I do love it a lot–. So here lays the secret, as in every creative endeavour…)

This book by Tolkien is one of the few ones I’ve not read 🙂 (I have had it in my hands, but didn’t bought it), but I own a nice collection of ‘Hobbits’, ‘Silmarillions’ and ‘Lords of The Rings’… 🙂 and, also, like you, several ‘Alices’– *Kisses* – Lixie 💜 Gradually she was seduced by the idea. She'd read the book first as a teenager in Australia, and loved it for its celebration of kindness and companionship. She was intrigued by the idea of illustrating – and abridging – it, and making it accessible to a younger readership. But above all, it was the very "Englishness" of it that appealed. And the countryside: "I felt I could go a little further than Shepard, and show more of that whole world the characters inhabit."

The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame Editions of The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame

Inga Moore loves the English countryside landscape and, out of this love, she has developed a charming, truly beautiful style, richly detailed and textural –amidst the current trends toward minimalistic or even abstract children’s book illustration–; and brought it to great achievements, like her work for Grahame’s “The Wind in the Willows” or, more recently, for Frances Hodgson Burnett’s“The Secret Garden”. In a beautiful single volume, Inga Moore’s magical illustrations bring Kenneth Grahame’s much-loved classic to life for a new generation of readers. Truly lovely illustrations. When you said ‘the story looks like this, and no other way’, I know just what you mean. It appalls me when the classic book illustrations are done over in modern re-issues, such as the Peter Rabbit series, or Alice in Wonderland… it’s practically criminal, so painful to even see. a b c d e Joanna Carey, “Inga Moore, illustrator of The Wind in the Willows”, in The Guardian dated 5 February 2010Hardcover.

The Wind in the Willows (Walker Illustrated Classics)

Born in Sussex but brought up in Australia from the age of eight, Moore feels a powerful attachment to the English countryside. Her school in ­Adelaide had an impressive library where all the children's books (mostly British) were uniformly leather bound. At 14 her favourite was Boswell's account of Dr Johnson's travels in the Hebrides. Born in Sussex, England, at the age of eight Moore emigrated with her family to Australia, where she went to school in Adelaide. She has said that at the age of fourteen her favourite book was James Boswell’s The Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides. [2] As of 2010, Moore was still living and working in Gloucestershire. Following her version of The Wind in the Willows, she is reported to be working on a sequel. [2] Books by Inga Moore [ edit ]Our servers are getting hit pretty hard right now.

"It was uplifting, life-enhancing, and I realised that making a picture book was one of the finest things one could aspire to." She got started as an illustrator and in the early 80s, inspired by childhood memories, returned to England.
