Kenneth Grahame (1859-1932) was a Scottish writer best known for his children's classic "The Wind in the Willows." He was born in Edinburgh and spent much of his childhood along the banks of the River Thames in Berkshire, England, which later inspired his writing. Grahame worked as a bank clerk before becoming a writer, and he wrote essays, short stories, and children's books. "The Wind in the Willows," published in 1908, remains his most famous work and has been adapted into numerous stage plays, films, and TV series.
