书籍简介

这本新的《柳林风声》精装版是儿童和成人都喜爱的经典故事，是与世界知名的V&A博物馆合作创作的，其精美的封面设计来自他们的威廉·莫里斯收藏。

《柳林风声》是英国作家肯尼思•格雷厄姆（1859—1932）的代表作，以他讲给天生患有眼疾的儿子的故事为基础创作而成。自1908年出版以来，《柳林风声》收获了一代又一代读者的喜爱，是当之无愧的英国文学经典和儿童文学瑰宝。

本书是深沉父爱的见证，是关于家园的绝美童话，让心灵在无尽幻想中获得自由。格雷厄姆的文字娴静、优雅，堪称散文的典范。一百多年来，许多名家为这部作品配过插图，E.H.谢泼德（1879—1976）奉献的版本是其中广受赞誉的一种。很少有人比谢泼德更能捕捉柳林世界里不掺杂任何杂质的喜悦了；正如有人说的那样，“他们的文字和绘画是绿色与金色的结合，就像在秋天里回忆夏天的美好”。

This new hardback edition of The Wind in the Willows, the classic story loved by children and adults alike, has been created in partnership with the world-famous V&A Museum, with exquisite cover designs from their William Morris collection.

Spring is in the air and Mole has found a wonderful new world. There's boating with Ratty, a feast with Badger and high jinx on the open road with that reckless ruffian, Mr Toad of Toad Hall. The four become the firmest of friends, but after Toad's latest escapade, can they join together and beat the wretched weasels?

作者简介

肯尼斯·格雷厄姆（1859—1932）出生于爱丁堡。他的童年很不幸，父亲长期酗酒，刚满五岁母亲就染病去世，外公外婆将他带到乡间抚养长大。1879年，他进入银行成为一名文员。银行里的工作单调无趣，为了排遣心情，格雷厄姆开始写作，其作品很快就发表问世。1893年，他的故事集《异教徒的文件》出版，紧接着，他又出版了两部作品《黄金时代》和《织梦年华》。《柳林风声》原本是他给儿子阿里斯代尔（小名“老鼠”）写的睡前故事，后来，他又在写给儿子的信件中对这一故事进行了加工和修改。1908年，《柳林风声》出版，不仅风靡一时，更是成为了温暖几代读者的儿童文学经典。

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.
