B C D ... Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback Kenneth Grahame (1859-1932) English bank official, writer, author of THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS (1908), set in the idyllic English countryside. The work established Grahame's international reputation as a writer of children's books and has deeply influenced fantasy literature. The central characters in the story are the shy little Mole, clever Ratty, Badger, and crazy Toad. They converse and behave like humans, but they all have typical animal habits, and some of the animals are eaten for breakfast by Mole, Rat, or Badger. Grahame has also published essays, stories and collections of sketches. "Beyond the Wild Wood comes the Wild World," said the Rat. "And that's something that doesn't matter, either to you or me. I've never been there, and I'm never going, nor you either, if you've got any sense at all..." (from The Wind in the Willows Kenneth Grahame was born in Edinburgh as the son of a lawyer from an old Scottish family. Due to the alcoholism of his father, Grahame was brought up by elderly relatives. In the early years he lived with his family in the Western highlands. When his mother died of scarlet fever, the children were sent to live with their maternal grandmother in the village of Cookham Dene, the chief setting of The Wind in the Willows . Grahame was educated at St. Edward's School, Oxford, and in 1879 he entered the Bank Of England.

Kenneth Grahame
Born: 8th March 1859
at 30 Castle Street, Edinburgh, Lothian
Author
Died: 6th July 1932 at Pangbourne, Berkshire
Kenneth was the son of an affluent lawyer from an old Scottish family. He had a number of famous relatives: his curate great grand uncle was the poet, James Grahame, while his cousin, Sir Anthony Hope Hawkins (alias Anthony Hope) was the author of ‘The Prisoner of Zenda’. Kenneth was born in Edinburgh but, upon his father’s appointment as Sheriff-Substitute of Argyllshire the following year, the family moved north to Inverary. Tragedy struck in 1864 when Kenneth’s mother died of scarlet fever. His alcoholic father was unable to cope and Kenneth and his siblings were sent to England to live with their maternal grandmother at ‘The Mount’ (Herries School) in Cookham Dean by the Thames. The family also rented Fernhill Cottage in Winkfield for a while when the house in Cookham became unsafe. Kenneth's favourite uncle, David Ingles, was the curate at nearby Cranbourne and it was in his church that the boy began to first recite his poetry. Kenneth became a pupil at St. Edward's School, Oxford until 1875, but was unable to enter the University and so went to work for his uncle in London. In 1879, Mr. William Lidderdale of Ascot Place helped him get a job at the Bank of England as a gentleman-clerk.

Kenneth Grahame (1859-1932)
Kenneth Grahame Kenneth Grahame was born at 30 Castle Street, Edinburgh, on 8 March 1859. He was the third child of an affluent advocate, and his great-grand-uncle was the poet and curate James Grahame. He was also the cousin of Sir Anthony Hope Hawkins (1863-1933), author (as Anthony Hope) of "The Prisoner of Zenda" (1894). Grahame's father was appointed Sheriff-Substitute of Argyllshire in 1860, and the family moved to Inverary. Grahame's mother died of scarlet fever in 1864, and his father, a heavy drinker, was incapable of caring for the children, so they were sent to Cookham Dene in Berkshire to be brought up by their grandmother. Grahame was educated at St Edward's School, Oxford (1868-75), but was unable to enter Oxford University. Instead, after a period working for his uncle in London, he joined the Bank of England as a gentleman-clerk in 1879, rising to become Secretary to the Bank in 1898. Grahame contributed essays and stories to "The Yellow Book" and W. E. Henley's "National Observer", and his collections "Pagan Papers", "The Golden Age" and "Dream Days" were well received by critics such as Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch ("Q", 1863-1944), who became a close friend. Grahame's stories centred on a fictional family of five children which he had created during his own childhood. Grahame married Elspeth Thomson in 1899, and their only child, Alastair, was born the following year (he was killed in 1918). Grahame created the character of Toad to amuse his son, but it was not until 1908 that he published "The Wind In The Willows", which had its origins in letters he had written to Alastair. By then he had already retired from the Bank (in 1907) due to ill health. The book was not an immediate success, but would achieve wider popularity thanks to the 1930 stage version, "Toad of Toad Hall" by A. A. Milne (1882-1956), whose "Winnie-the-Pooh" (1926) was created for his own son Christopher Robin.

KENNETH GRAHAME
English author (1859-1932)
Biography:
Kenneth Grahame was born in Edimburgh in 1859. But when his mother died of scarlet fever, all her children were sent to live with their maternal grandmother in the village of Cookham Dene, the chief setting of The Wind in the Willows
He earned a living as a banker, yet he wrote articles for such newspapers as St. James gazette or National Observer. In 1895, a collection of his works was published under the title of The Golden Age . In 1898 Dream Days appeared as a collection of short-stories, among which "The Relucatant Dragon" was found.
The Wind in the Willows (1908), which established Grahame's international reputation as a writer of children's books and has deeply influenced fantasy literature, is his best-known book. In it, a group of four human-like animals, Mole, Ratty, Badger and Toad, undergo a series of adventures in the English countryside.

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/railway/age/grahame_bio.html
Kenneth Grahame was the cousin of Sir Anthony Hope, who wrote the swashbuckling Victorian masterpiece The Prisoner of Zenda. Grahame's own Edwardian masterpiece, The Wind in the Willows, could hardly be more distant in spirit and substance from its cousin. Even in the 1890s, Grahame had already moved away from the adventure story epitomized by Hope's novel. His Dream Days (1895) and Golden Age (1898) were minor successes, critically praised at the time for their realistic portrait of childhood, filtered through the sharp eyes and sensible voice of their child narrators. A Scotsman by birth and a banker by profession, Grahame approached his writing from the periphery of the literary world. The Wind in the Willows, with its vivid characters of Rat, Badger, Mole, and Toad and their life on the riverbank, was originally not intended for publication but rather as a collection of stories for his son. Published in 1908, The Wind in the Willows became considerably more popular with A.A. Milne's 1930 stage version of it, Toad of Toad Hall.

His first piece of published writing, By a northern furrow , appeared in 1888. Grahame continued to write articles and stories which were published in the National observer St James gazette and the Yellow book throughout the 1890's. Pagan papers (1893) was based on some of these, including The Olympians , his child's view of the Victorian adult world. Grahame's The Golden age (1895) received both critical and popular acclaim and centres on a fictional family Created during his own childhood.
