  7. ‘Demonic’ #WindInTheWillows jumper #banned from #WestminsterAbbey | #London | The Guardian

    Security guards who are ignorant of the origin of a picture think it’s supposedly #demonic. And even if it were, how would that hurt someone? It’s not even a provocative or threatening message.

  12. David Petersen’s illustrated edition of The Wind in the Willows returns

    Review by C. J. Bunce The 1908 children's book The Wind in the Willows is one of those fantastic books that belong on the shelf along with The Hobbit, Winnie the Pooh, and Huckleberry Finn.  Seven famous illustrators (and countless others) over the years have provided the visual representations of Kenneth Grahame's famous Mole, Rat, Toad, and Badger...

  18. A. A. Milne on his inspiration for the book:

    "I came out early, oh, ever so early. Nobody was up, the birds weren't up and even the sun wasn't up. And everything was so still that there was no sound in all the world, except just the wind in the willows, whispering ever so gently." ~A.A. Milne

    Which I came across and saved from the A.A.Milne bot on Twitter, a long time ago. It is still there.

  20. Guys, this Mr. Toad (WIND IN THE WILLOWS) poster is blowing my mind. It is by Peter Diamond, you can buy it, and here's an interview with more of his boss art (check out that tiger!): blackdragonpress.co.uk/blogs/n
