When Judy White asked designer Brian Webb how many of her sketches we wanted in our book he said 'All of them!' That's why our limited editions of Kenneth Grahame's great story are illustrated with over eighty brush-and-ink drawings. She writes in her afterword:
'As I re-read the book I discovered that it is very funny, which had gone over my head as a child. Also, the main characters have such terrific personalities – they are robust little animals, not at all childish or sentimental. If I concentrated on these two things, I could see how to do my own take on the book.'
We are have made three versions: The Lettered Edition, which is hand-coloured by Judy on twenty-five pages; The Numbered Edition, hand-coloured on thirteen pages; and the Standard Edition which is not coloured. The Numbered Edition sold out on pre-order and is no longer available.
