Valeur estimée
$ 2 000 – 3 000 
One of the icons of classic children's literature: first English edition of Grahame's masterpiece. "What had emerged [from Grahame's bedtime stories to his son Alistair] was no lighthearted story about a countryside community of animals but a long and ramifying fable ... the London publisher had been dubious about accepting so unclassifiable a book, putting it on his adult rather than his juvenile list, and many reviewers were also baffled as to its likely readership" (Grolier Children's). The Wind in the Willows status as a beloved children's classic is now undoubted. Grolier Children's 61.
Octavo. Frontispiece by Graham Robertson. Original pictorial blue-green cloth stamped in gilt, top edge gilt, other edges uncut (hinges repaired, light insect wear to cover, rubbing to spine ends and edges).
