Frontispiece
The Badger simply beamed on him. "That's exactly what I say," he replied. "There's no security, or peace and tranquility, except underground. And then, if your ideas get larger and you wanted to expand - why, a dig and a scrape and there you are! If you feel your house is a bit too big you stop up a hole or two, and there you are again! No builders, no tradesmen, no remarks passed on you by fellows looking over your wall, and, above all, no weather".
From the book: The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame. Originally published 8th October 1908 by Methuen & Co.Ltd; 1971 Edition published by Methuen Children's Books Ltd. p.80.
The book is a means of communication using visual symbols set in lasting material, which has enabled information to be transmitted to countless audiences of readers over five millenia. They are so valued as permanent records that they are kept in our libraries for public access (visit some) or traded in bookshops ( visit abebooks off site) for personal collections.
