Not much happens here. A mole gives up spring-cleaning. A dragon refuses to fight. Children explore gardens, secrets, and grown-up nonsense. And that's exactly the charm.

These are tales where animals talk, time meanders, and adventure might mean simply getting lost — on purpose. This volume brings together four of Grahame's most loved works: The Wind in the Willows, The Reluctant Dragon, The Golden Age, and Dream Days.
