Kenneth Grahame
Kenneth Grahame was a British writer best known for his classic children's novel The Wind in the Willows.
Born in Scotland, he spent most of his childhood in England after his mother's death.
Despite his desire to attend university, Grahame instead pursued a successful career at the Bank of England.
Before writing his most famous work, he published three other books: Pagan Papers, The Golden Age, and Dream Days.
The Wind in the Willows, published in 1908, originated from bedtime stories Grahame told his son.
The book's enduring popularity has led to numerous adaptations and has secured Grahame's place in literary history.
