Eternal Boy

The Life of Kenneth Grahame

New Paperback Illustrated

Postscript summary

Despite the seriousness of his working life at the Treasury, Kenneth Grahame retained a strong imaginative streak and a nostalgia for the Berkshire stretch of the Thames riverbank that inspired The Wind in the Willows. Matthew Dennison’s biography records the author’s life from a difficult youth after his mother’s death to his cold marriage, the loss of his son and the eventual success of his children’s classic.
