Grahame’s The Golden Age (1895) is a compilation of tales about five imaginative children who escape their oppressive families by delving into their own fantasies. This book brought Grahame widespread recognition.
Dream Days (1898) is another story collection by Grahame and serves as a sequel to The Golden Age, featuring the same five children. It solidified Grahame’s reputation as a successful author.
Charlotte’s Web (1952) by E. B. White, much like The Wind in the Willows, is a novel with animal characters. In this story, a pig is saved from slaughter by a spider who weaves words into her web.
Redwall (1986) by Brian Jacques is a novel featuring animal characters that tells a magical and adventurous tale where a society of rats enacts the timeless battle between good and evil. This book marks the beginning of a series of novels.
Numerous abridged editions of The Wind in the Willows have been released over the years. Joan Collins adapted it into a fifty-two-page version titled “retold for easy reading,” published in Britain in 1983 by Ladybird Books. Bob Blaisdell created a slightly longer adaptation, published in 1995 by Dover Publications.
William Horwood authored several sequels to The Wind in the Willows, including The Willows in the Winter (1993), Toad Triumphant (1995), and The Willows and Beyond (1996).
