When a dragon is discovered up on the Downs, the Boy is not in the least surprised.
He's always known that cave was a dragon cave, so it seems only right for a dragon to
be living in it. The Boy decides to pay a visit to the cave, and he thinks he knows just
what to expect. But this particular dragon is not a bit like the ones in fairy tales.

Kenneth Grahame (1859-1932), Scottish-born author, was raised by his grandmother in Berkshire, England, along the banks of the Thames River. He was educated at Oxford and then worked for the Bank of England. As a pastime, he wrote light nonfiction and articles for newspapers. The Wind in the Willows (1908), originally written as letters to his son, established him as a writer of children's books and had a deep influence on fantasy literature.
