Inga Moore.
In a simplification for younger readers, the final four chapters of Grahame's beloved classic have been minimally edited. Centered around the comedic antics of the outrageous Toad, the text's illustrations are the raison d'être for its reinterpretation. Both cozy and expansive, the precisely detailed watercolor and ink illustrations are as warmly humorous as the story.
