Summary:

Kenneth Grahame (1859-1932) was a British writer, mainly of the sort
of fiction and fantasy written for children but enjoyed equally if
not more by adults. He is most famous for The Wind in the Willows
(1908), one of the classics of children's literature. He also wrote
The Reluctant Dragon, which was much later adapted into a Disney
movie. While still a young man, Grahame began to publish light
stories in London periodicals such as the St. James Gazette. Some of
these stories were collected and published as Pagan Papers in 1893,
and, two years later, The Golden Age. These were followed by Dream
Days in 1898, which contains The Reluctant Dragon. There is a
ten-year gap between Grahame's penultimate book and the publication
of his triumph, The Wind in the Willows. During this decade Grahame
became a father. The wayward headstrong nature he saw in his little
son he transformed into the swaggering Toad of Toad Hall, one of its
four principal characters. Despite its success, he never attempted a
sequel.
