To start with I used Google to search for a synopsis of the book, along with information about the author, publishers and the genre of the book. The Wind in the Willows is about a group of 4 friends, 3 of which are trying to save the other from his own self destructive obsessions. This, for a children's book is quite a sinister element, teaching how money and greed can lead to loss friends and life. I may play on this aspect if I decide to design a cover for this book. 

Themes found in the book:
  • Acceptance
  • Hospitality
  • Fear
  • Power
