The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame. London: Methuen and Co., 1908. Second edition. Octavo. Original pictorial blue/green cloth stamped in gilt on front cover and spine, top edge gilt, others untrimmed. Black and white frontispiece by Graham Robertson.

Corners are a little bumped, extremities ever-so-lightly rubbed, a little wear to spine, and there is heavy offsetting and foxing throughout, as pictured. The book has been professionally restored by the Black Cat Bindery, with pages resewn by hand, re-backed with new cloth, saving the original boards and superimposing the original spine. Finely and sympathetically retouched in places, including to the top edge gilt, while ensuring the book retains its character. Now a beautiful collector's piece that would grace any shelf of anyone who adores the heart-warming adventures of Mole, Rat, Badger, and the reckless Mr. Toad as they navigate friendship, mischief, and the joys of life along the riverbank.
