About the author
E.H.Shepard was born in London in 1879. He won a scholarship to the Royal Academy Schools and later worked as an artist, illustrator and cartoonist. Shepard’s witty and loving decorations of both Wind in the Willows and Winnie-the-Pooh have become an inseparable part of their stories, and classics in their own right.
Kenneth Grahame was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1859 and grew up in Berkshire. Wind in the Willows was based on bedtime stories he told his son Alistair, who is said to have been the inspiration for the much-loved character of Toad.
