The Willows and Beyond

Kenneth Grahame's The Wind in the Willows lives on in the fourth book in the series praised as "faithful to the original" by the Chicago Tribune. This stunning continuation by William Horwood follows the further adventures of the four most beloved characters in English literature. In this new tale, we find the loyal companions approaching the autumn of their lives, reflecting on their many escapades and preparing to hand over River Bank to the next generation. When the future of the home they know and love suddenly comes under threat, all of the creatures, young and old, must rally together. Enriched once again by the outstanding illustrations of Patrick Benson, The Willows and Beyond is another captivating story for audiences and imaginations everywhere. Praise for William Horwood's Tales of the Willows series "Better than a sequel—Horwood loves and understands Grahame's dream, and wants not to cash in on it but to be part of it." —The Times (London) on The Willows and Beyond "With its humor, tenderness, suspense, and happy ending, this novel will appeal to everyone who likes a pleasant story and a good read." —The Christian Science Monitor on Toad Triumphant "The old characters pop back to life as you begin reading." —The New York Times on The Willows in Winter "Patrick Benson's cross-hatched illustrations seem to have been lovingly guided by the hand of Ernest Shepard." —Cleveland Plain Dealer on The Willows in Winter
