Illustrated by
Clint Young.
Kelly (The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate) boldly extends Grahame's iconic Wind in the Willows, bringing wit and imagination to the familiar characters' further adventures and adding appealing new players. Like Grahame, Kelly is generous with an extensive, appropriately British vocabulary, lightened in chatty footnotes. It's delicious to find the old friends thriving in a rousing, well-wrought tale that honors its source.
