Complete Works of Kenneth Grahame
Almost everyone knows
The Wind in the Willows,
Kenneth Grahame's classic
masterpiece. But Grahame also wrote
a variety of other short stories,
essays, poems and introductions to
other authors' books which, although
largely forgotten today, were well
known in his day. Indeed, he was
already famous for writing
The Golden Age
and
Dream Days,
his two collections of short stories
about a family of orphaned children,
long before
The Wind in the Willows
was first published in 1908.
For many years his lesser-known
works have been difficult to obtain
and, for this reason, they have
languished in undeserved obscurity.
This is a great loss because Grahame
wrote in a rich, entertaining style
and, in many cases, with a great
range of wit and humour. Although he
had a relatively small output of
published works - they all fit into
a single volume - the versatility he
shows within those works is
particularly impressive.
For the first time ever, all
Grahame's published writings, with
the exception of his private
letters, have been collected by a
team of members of the Kenneth
Grahame Society and published
together in a single volume. It is
the Society’s hope that the reader
will enjoy reading many of the gems
in this literary treasure trove and
will appreciate Grahame's literary
genius all the more.
