  Welcome to the website and discussion forum of the Kenneth Grahame Society!

 

 

 

"Believe me, there is nothing - absolutely nothing -

half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats...

... except getting involved in the Kenneth Grahame literary society."

 

 


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.

 

The Kenneth Grahame Society is a member of the Alliance of Literary Societies (ALS) and the Children's Literature Association (ChLA).
