EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting image, first published in 1908, transports us back in time to the cozy and inviting world of Kenneth Grahame's beloved characters from "The Wind in the Willows." In this scene, Badger, the wise and practical leader of the animal community, is seen preparing for the winter season. The visible winter stores, which indeed took up half the room, are a testament to his diligent preparations. The room is filled with an assortment of provisions, including baskets of fruit, jars of preserves, and sacks of grain, all neatly arranged on the floor boards. Badger's dressing gown and comfortable slippers are draped over a chair, suggesting that he has just finished his preparations and is ready to retire for the evening. A candle burns brightly on the table, casting a warm and inviting glow over the scene. In the background, we catch a glimpse of books and other treasured possessions, hinting at Badger's love for literature and learning. The wind outside is evident through the slightly open window, as the willows outside sway gently in the breeze. The scene exudes a sense of comfort and security, reminding us of the simple pleasures of a well-lived life. This photograph, taken from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the history of a cherished children's classic and invites us to appreciate the charm and wisdom of the beloved character of Badger as he prepares for the winter season.
