THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS

by Kenneth Grahame

Illustrated by Arthur Rackham

Published by Methuen & Co. Ltd.. 1951

Very good condition in a almost very good dustwrapper. The last book to be illustrated by Rackham. Grahame himself originally approached Rackham to illustrate his book but at that time it could not be managed. It was thirty years later that Rackham finally consented. The pictures were finished just as World War II broke out and were originally published in America by the Limited Editions Club. Green cloth, gilt titles to spine. 12 lovely colour plates plus 15 line illustrations in the text. 178 pages.

Foxing to outer page edges and some page margins. Wrapper is very unevenly faded, with edge-chips and tears; a little loss to edges. Wrinkling to frontis.
