Wind in the Willows Book Art (GalleyCat)IDW Publishing will publish a new illustrated hardcover edition of Kenneth Grahame’s The Wind in the Willows. The release has been scheduled for October 2016.

David Petersen created over 60 illustrations for this project; it took him more than three years to make the artwork. He has agreed to sign every copy from the first printing.

Here’s more from the press release: “Since its first publication in 1908, generations of adults and children have cherished Kenneth Grahame’s classic, The Wind in the Willows. For in this entrancing, lyrical world of gurgling rivers and whispering reeds live four of the wisest, wittiest, noblest, and most lovable creatures in all literature—Rat, Mole, Badger, and Toad of Toad Hall.”
