    Kenneth Grahame

    Kenneth Grahame was born in Edinburgh in 1859. He was educated at St Edward's School, Oxford, but family circumstances prevented him from entering Oxford University. He joined the Bank of England as a gentleman clerk in 1879, rising to become the Bank's Secretary in 1898. He wrote a series of short stories, married Elspeth Thomson in 1899 and their only child, Alistair, was born a year later. He left the Bank in 1908, the year that The Wind in the Willows was published. Though not an immediate success, by the time of Grahame's death in 1932 it was recognised as a children's classic.

      The Wind in the Willows - Kenneth Grahame

      A Rat and a Mole

      Mole came out of his hole near the river bank. Water Rat walked over to him.

      "Hello, Mole, Rat said. I have not seen you here before."

      I don’t go out very often, Mole said. And I haven’t been here before. I’m happier at home underground.

      It’s always better to be at home, Rat said, but I also like to swim around in the river.

      Is this a river? Mole asked. All this water?

      It certainly is, Rat said. "And it’s wonderful. I love it."

      But what do you do in it? Mole wanted to know.

      "Swim about in it, of course. Look at things. Talk to the ducks and other animals that live in the river. Oh, there’s always a lot to do in a river. Would you like to meet some of my friends?"

      Oh, yes. I’d really like that, Mole said.

      "Good. Let’s go to my boat and get my picnic basket. We’ll have a nice picnic by the river."

      Rat and Mole jumped on the boat. Rat got his picnic basket. They traveled and returned to land. On land, Mole felt the ground beneath him move.

      Oh! What’s happening? he cried.

      Don’t worry about it, a voice said, and Badger came out of the ground. He was quite old and often had a bad temper. And please try not to sit on my front door.

      "I’m so sorry, Mr. Badger," Mole said.

      At this moment, Rat returned with the picnic basket. Badger went to the river bank to help Rat with it.

      My dear friend, Ratty, he said. "It’s so
