LEAN CLOSER - LET ME WHISPER...
Regular readers may be aware that my favourite book (of its kind) is The WIND In The WILLOWS by Scottish author KENNETH GRAHAME. The book (unin-tentionally) started as bedtime stories for the author's son ALASTAIR, which continued in the form of letters when, sans parents, the child was on holiday with his governess in Littlehampton. The rest, as they say, is history.
In 1944, ELSPETH GRAHAME (Kenneth's widow) wrote a somewhat fanciful introduction to FIRST WHISPER Of 'The WIND In The WILLOWS', a thin booklet which included a then-hitherto unpublished short story entitled BERTIE'S ESCAPADE, along with transcriptions of Grahame's letters to his young son. I'd previously acquired a 1947 CHILDREN'S BOOK CLUB edition in 2017, but today I took possession of a 1946 METHUEN (3rd) edition with original dust-jacket.
Now all I have to do is find the time and energy to read it, but it's nice to know it's sitting on my shelf waiting for my attention. What's your favourite book from childhood or youth, fellow Crivs? (If you can remember that far back.) Tell your fellow decrepit members of this blog just what it means to you, and why.
