Editor's Notes and Comments:

Product Description:


The very first volume of the new CLASSICS ILLUSTRATED DELUXE series presents graphic novelist Michel Plessix’s lush adaptation of “The Wind in the Willows” by Kenneth Grahame.  The artwork is in aquarelle, with thin, precise, detailed lines. In Wind in the Willows, Plessix breathes life into Mole, Rat, and Toad (of Toad Hall) as they picnic on the riverbank, indulge in Toad's latest fad, and get lost in Wild Wood. The pacing is masterful: each panel lingers just long enough to make you appreciate the simple pleasures of life. 





Customer Reviews
User popularity level: out of 5 stars

Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Everything old is new again
This was great. I got it for my son (age 10) to read and he pretty much devoured it. We then got hold of the David Lean version - hey, that's Obi Wan Kenobi as Herbert Pocket. Then, he was interested enough to get the latest BBC version. If you don't buy this book you must have played with Miss Havesham as a kid.


Rated by buyers 3 out of 5 stars - Take the time...
Honestly, if you take the time and effort to read the actual novel, it is so well worth it other than these illustrated editions.

I guess it is good for kids, makes Dickens easier to handle, but I do not think kids really need to be handling Dickens. The only real reason to read Dickens is to appreciate his beautiful sentences, and kids won't really get that aspect.

If you really want kids to read Dickens, read it to them and make it exciting and fun for them.


Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - An all-colour graphic novel
This very first volume of the new 'Classics Illustrated' series provides graphic novelist Rick Geary's adaptation of Dickens' classic novel, using an all-colour graphic novel format to reveal politics, morals and virtues. Fans of the comic book series which took literary classics and popularized them will find this approach translates well to book form, providing something new for young readers.
