内容简介
A beloved children's novel read around the world, Kenneth Grahame's The Wind in the Willows has been published in dozens of editions since 1908, almost all of which are fondly remembered for their exceptional illustrations. This book presents for the first time all the artists who have ever illustrated a version of The Wind in the Willows, from the famous--such as Arthur Rackham, Ernest Shepard, Inga Moore, and Robert Ingpen--to the lesser known. In all, over 90 artists are profiled, with each entry providing an overview of the artist's life and artistic approach. A number of black and white illustrations created by each artist accompanies most entries, and whenever possible, information taken from personal interviews with the artists is also included.
