Download or read book The Making of the Wind in the Willows written by Peter Hunt and published by Bodleian Library. This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Wind in the Willows has its origins in the bedtime stories that Kenneth Grahame told to his son Alastair and then continued in letters (now held in the Bodleian Library) while he was on holiday. But the book developed into something much more sophisticated than this, as Peter Hunt shows. He identifies the colleagues and friends on whom Grahame is thought to have based the characters of Mole, Rat, Badger and Toad, and explores the literary genres of boating, caravanning and motoring books on which the author drew. He also recounts the extraordinary correspondence surrounding the book's first publication and the influence of two determined women - Elspeth Grahame and publisher's agent Constance Smedley - who helped turn the book into the classic for children we know and love today, when it was almost entirely intended for adults.Generously illustrated with original drawings, fan letters (including one from President Roosevelt) and archival material, this book explores the mysteries surrounding one of the most successful works of children's literature ever published.

First with brooms, then with dusters; then on ladders andsteps and chairs, with a brush and a pail of whitewash; till he had dustin his throat and eyes, and splashes of whitewash all over his blackfur, and an aching back and weary arms. Spring was moving in the airabove and in the earth below and around him, penetrating even his darkand lowly little house with its spirit of divine discontent and longing.It was small wonder, then, that he suddenly flung down his brush on thefloor, said 'Bother!' and 'O blow!' and also 'Hang spring-cleaning!'and bolted out of the house without even waiting to put on his coat.Something up above was calling him imperiously, and he made forthe steep little tunnel which answered in his case to the gavelledcarriage-drive owned by animals whose residences are nearer to the sunand air. So he scraped and scratched and scrabbled and scrooged andthen he scrooged again and scrabbled and scratched and scraped, workingbusily with his little paws and muttering to himself, 'Up we go! Up wego!' till at last, pop! his snout came out into the sunlight, and hefound himself rolling in the warm grass of a great meadow.'This is fine!' he said to himself. 'This is better than whitewashing!'The sunshine struck hot on his fur, soft breezes caressed his heatedbrow, and after the seclusion of the cellarage he had lived in so longthe carol of happy birds fell on his dulled hearing almost like a shout.Jumping off all his four legs at once, in the joy of living and thedelight of spring without its cleaning, he pursued his way across themeadow till he reached the hedge on the further side.'Hold up!' said an elderly rabbit at the gap. 'Sixpence for theprivilege of passing by the private road!' He was bowled over in aninstant by the impatient and contemptuous Mole, who trotted along theside of the hedge chaffing the other rabbits as they peeped hurriedlyfrom their holes to see what the row was about. 'Onion-sauce!Onion-sauce!' he remarked jeeringly, and was gone before they couldthink of a thoroughly satisfactory reply. Then they all startedgrumbling at each other. 'How STUPID you are! Why didn't you tellhim----' 'Well, why didn't YOU say----' 'You might have remindedhim----' and so on, in the usual way; but, of course, it was then muchtoo late, as is always the case.
