I have tortuous memories of trying to read this eons ago, but now I want to get a copy *just* for the illustrations! They’re – wow…. not the horrible, heavy, and depressing things that were in my copy. A thousand kissies to you!

The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame, Inga Moore

But when her flat was repossessed, she decided to leave London, and found a rambling, upstairs apartment in a crumbling Palladian pile in rural Gloucestershire. And that's where we meet, buzzards wheeling overhead as Moore shows me round. "I knew immediately that with this position, the quality of the light in the studio and the abundance of wildlife, it was the perfect place to live and work on The Wind in the Willows," she says. "I could never have done it in London." Access-restricted-item true Addeddate 2020-12-10 07:30:12 Associated-names Moore, Inga, 1945-; Grahame, Kenneth, 1859-1932.

I duplicate the original post with only minor corrections in the text and some tags added]: [Pala late –Ari: mrni jagorri– , kai kamlas “E Balval ande le Selchinde”… Me xalem lako ilo!] After leaving school, Moore took a variety of jobs. Raymond Briggs’s book Father Christmas (1973) inspired her to want to illustrate books, and she began to look for work as an illustrator. [2] An early work, Aktil’s Big Swim (1980), tells the story of a Dover mouse who decides to swim the English Channel, not understanding how wide it is. [3] Here you are twelve of them, belonging to the first three chapters (and the cover) of K. Grahame’s wonderful novel: These are so delicate Lixie, thanks for sharing them with us. It fascinates me that she doesn’t have a web presence, though it fits with her old world charm. I believe there is room for the beautiful older illustrations (have you ever encountered JRR Tolkien’s “Father Christmas Letters?), but I also delight in diverse interpretations. I have a collection of about a dozen Alice in Wonderland’s. Born in Sussex, England, at the age of eight Moore emigrated with her family to Australia, where she went to school in Adelaide. She has said that at the age of fourteen her favourite book was James Boswell’s The Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides. [2]
