The Wind in the Willows is Kenneth Grahame's 1908 children's classic following Mole, Ratty, Badger, and the reckless Mr. Toad through a riverside pastoral England, as the trio repeatedly bail Toad out of the trouble his obsession with motorcars keeps causing. William Horwood added four authorized sequels beginning with The Willows in Winter (1993), continuing the same animal cast's adventures through later seasons and years. Together they form a seven-decade-spanning series built around one shared cast and setting.
