About Kenneth Grahame

Kenneth Grahame ( GRAY-əm; 8 March 1859 – 6 July 1932) was a British writer best remembered for the classic of children's literature The Wind in the Willows (1908). Scottish by birth, he spent most of his childhood with his grandmother in England, following the death of his mother and his father's inability to look after the children. After attending St Edward's School in Oxford, his ambition to attend university was thwarted and he joined the Bank of England, where he had a successful career. Before writing The Wind in the Willows, he published three other books: Pagan Papers (1893); The Golden Age (1895); Dream Days (1898).
