内容简介
The Wind in the Willows is a book for those 'who keep the spirit of youth alive in them; of life, sunshine, running water, woodlands, dusty roads, winter firesides.'
作者简介
Kenneth Grahame (1859-1932) was born in Edinburgh, Scotland. When he was not yet five, his mother died of scarlet fever, after which he was sent to his maternal grandmother's house at Cookham Dean near the Thames. His father virtually abandoned his children to relatives, and Kenneth was sent to boarding school in Oxford at the age of nine. Disappointed of his dream of going on to university, he was instead given a job as a clerk in the Bank of England, where ultimately he became Secretary. He achieved fame as a writer with his recollections of childhood,
The Golden Age and
Dream Days published in 1895 and 1898.
The Wind in the Willows, turned down by several publishers as a poor sequel to the earlier books, began as a bedtime story told to his only child, Alistar, whose tragic death at twenty was so great a sorrow that he and his wife lived in eccentric seclusion thereafter. In a life of much sadness it seems that all he found pleasurable in this world he put into the best-loved children's book of all time.,,

“It is what I call a Household Book . . . a book which everybody in the household loves, and quotes continually ever afterwards; a book which is read aloud to every new guest.”

关于《柳林风声》的具体创作缘由,一般认为始于格雷厄姆晚间在床头给儿子讲故事的经历,尤其是关于蛤蟆历险的故事。事实上,从1904年5月开始,格雷厄姆总会在夜晚入睡前给年仅4岁、昵称“耗子”的儿子讲故事。在最初的讲述中,除了蛤蟆、鼹鼠和河鼠等动物外,还有长颈鹿这样的庞然大物,但由于这样的大型动物不太适合进入柳林河岸的动物世界,所以后来被舍弃了。1907年5月,儿子阿拉斯泰尔按计划要跟随家庭女教师外出度假。但他却不愿意离开,因为他要继续听爸爸讲故事,于是格雷厄姆答应用写信的方式给儿子继续讲下去。他没有爽约,连续几个月按时将故事写下来寄到儿子那里,由女教师读给儿子听。这些写在书信里的故事自然成为了《柳林风声》的组成部分。很好的书。

Graham一生的磕磕绊绊,与常人无异。他一生最美的闪耀,就是这本叫《柳林风声》的小书。这部朴实活泼的作品,正像初夏时节,那吹过柳树林的一阵微风。 Graham沿着一条河流,一片树林,讲了一个鼹鼠、老鼠、獾以及一只蛤蟆的友情和生活。人物之生动,自出版之时,就被人赞誉过无数次了。
