GRAHAME KENNETH THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS V&A COL...

Kenneth Grahame (1859-1932) was born in Edinburgh  but grew up with relatives in Berkshire
where he developed his love for the countryside surrounding the upper parts of the River
Thames. He was educated at St Edward's in Oxford  but instead of going on to Oxford University
he joined the Bank of England  where he rose to become Secretary. He wrote several books
including The Golden Age and Dream Days which includes the short story ' The Reluctant Dragon'
(later made into a Disney movie). Kenneth Grahame developed the character of Toad in The Wind
in the Willows to amuse his young son  Alistair. It was published in 1908 and still remains a
best-loved children's classic.
