The Kenneth Grahame Society is for readers,
literature students, potential sequel writers,
illustrators and everyone else who appreciates the
works of Kenneth Grahame. Membership is free and
members from all over the world are welcome to join.
The
aims of the Kenneth Grahame Society are:
- To
encourage scholarly study and discussion of the
works of Kenneth Grahame.
- To
actively promote an expanded
universe around The Wind in the Willows.
-
To
be a comprehensive and accurate resource (Body of
Knowledge) on the life
and works of Kenneth Grahame.
The
society is primarily an online society with two main
areas:
Webpages
The
webpages are the main resource. As can be seen from
the links on the left of this page, they cover the
biography, writings and locations associated with
Kenneth Grahame, an expanded The Wind in the
Willows universe of sequels, illustrations and
films, and a study section. There are over 100
webpages at the moment, but material for at least
100 more is in the pipeline.
Discussion Forum
Unlike traditional literary societies there are no
current plans for members to meet regularly to hold society meetings. As
an alternative to physically meeting there is a
discussion forum where members can post comments and
conduct discussions at any time. This will be
complemented by organized online meetings at regular
intervals – initially scheduled as eight meetings
per year.
Please join us in enjoying the fascinating world of
this brilliant author.
