Illustrated by
Michael Foreman.
Foreman's illustrations for this edition range from mystical, dreamlike scenes, such as the animals' visit to the god Pan, to comical renditions of the adventures of Toad. An oversize oblong with full-color watercolors throughout, the book has a pleasing heft and feel. With its glossy coated paper, full cloth binding, and detailed endpaper maps, this is an edition to cherish.
