内容简介
Hailed as one of the most enduringly popular works of the twentieth century, The Wind in the Willows is a classic of magical fancy and enchanting wit. Penned in lyrical prose, the adventures and misadventures of the book's intrepid quartet of heroes-Mole, Water Rat, Badger, and, of course, the incorrigible Toad-raise fantasy to the level of myth. Reflecting the freshness of childhood wonder, the story still offers adults endless sophistication, substance, and depth. The animals' world embodies the author's wry, whimsical, and unfailingly inventive imagination. It is a world that succeeding generations of both adult and young readers have found irresistible. But why say more? To use the words of the estimable Mr. Toad himself: "Travel, change, interest, excitement!. . . Come inside."
《柳林风声》的故事内容如下: 胆小又爱冒险的鼹鼠、热情又浪漫的河鼠、睿智侠义的獾先生、敦厚老实的水獭,和虚荣而喜欢吹牛的蛤蟆一起生活在河岸与大森林里,有乐同享,有难同当。蛤蟆因为虚荣总是闯祸,大家决定齐心协力帮助他改掉坏毛病,与黄鼠狼家族展开了战斗……
作者简介
Grahame was born on 8 March 1859 in Edinburgh, Scotland but in early childhood, after his mother died and his father began to drink heavily, he moved with his younger sister to live with his grandmother on the banks of the River Thames in the Berkshire village of Cookham in southern England. He was an outstanding pupil at St Edward's School in Oxford and wanted to attend Oxford University but was not allowed to do so by his guardian on grounds of cost. Instead he was sent to work at the Bank of England in 1879, and rose through the ranks until retiring as its Secretary in 1908 due to ill health. In addition to ill health, Grahame's retirement was precipitated in 1903 by a strange, possibly political, shooting incident at the bank. Grahame was shot at three times, all of them missed.
Grahame married Elspeth Thomson in 1899, but the marriage was not a happy one. They had only one child, a boy named Alastair (whose nickname was "Mouse") born blind in one eye and plagued by health problems throughout his short life. Alastair eventually committed suicide on a railway track while an undergraduate at Oxford University, two days before his 20th birthday on 7 May 1920. Out of respect for Kenneth Grahame, Alastair's demise was recorded as an accidental death.
Kenneth Grahame died in Pangbourne, Berkshire in 1932. He is buried in Holywell Cemetery, Oxford. Grahame's cousin Anthony Hope, also a successful author, wrote his epitaph, which reads: "To the beautiful memory of Kenneth Grahame, husband of Elspeth and father of Alastair, who passed the river on the 6th of July, 1932, leaving childhood and literature through him the more blest for all time".
肯尼思·格雷厄姆(Kenneth Grahame,1859~1932),英国著名作家。生于苏格兰爱丁堡,童年相当不聿,5岁丧母,父亲也于不久后辞世,他和他的几个兄弟由亲戚抚养长大。童年丧失双亲对肯尼思·格雷厄姆打击很大。但这并没有影响到他对这个世界,尤其是对大自然的热爱。他常常利用课余时间和节假日研究大自然,进行实地考察,这为他后来的文学创作积累了丰富的经验和素材。中学毕业后,格雷厄姆没钱上大学,进入英格伦银行工作。他热爱文学,常常利用晚上和节假日写作。他写起关于小动物的童话来游刃有余,简直如行云流水一般。不幸的是,就在写成这部童话的那年(1908年),格雷厄姆在银行遭到一个疯子枪击而受伤,被迫退休。肯尼思·格雷厄姆于1932年7月6日去世,享年73岁。
