Kenneth Grahame (1859-1932) Kenneth Grahame Kenneth Grahame was born at 30 Castle Street, Edinburgh, on 8 March 1859. He was the third child of an affluent advocate, and his great-grand-uncle was the poet and curate James Grahame. He was also the cousin of Sir Anthony Hope Hawkins (1863-1933), author (as Anthony Hope) of "The Prisoner of Zenda" (1894). Grahame's father was appointed Sheriff-Substitute of Argyllshire in 1860, and the family moved to Inverary. Grahame's mother died of scarlet fever in 1864, and his father, a heavy drinker, was incapable of caring for the children, so they were sent to Cookham Dene in Berkshire to be brought up by their grandmother. Grahame was educated at St Edward's School, Oxford (1868-75), but was unable to enter Oxford University. Instead, after a period working for his uncle in London, he joined the Bank of England as a gentleman-clerk in 1879, rising to become Secretary to the Bank in 1898. Grahame contributed essays and stories to "The Yellow Book" and W. E. Henley's "National Observer", and his collections "Pagan Papers", "The Golden Age" and "Dream Days" were well received by critics such as Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch ("Q", 1863-1944), who became a close friend. Grahame's stories centred on a fictional family of five children which he had created during his own childhood. Grahame married Elspeth Thomson in 1899, and their only child, Alastair, was born the following year (he was killed in 1918). Grahame created the character of Toad to amuse his son, but it was not until 1908 that he published "The Wind In The Willows", which had its origins in letters he had written to Alastair. By then he had already retired from the Bank (in 1907) due to ill health. The book was not an immediate success, but would achieve wider popularity thanks to the 1930 stage version, "Toad of Toad Hall" by A. A. Milne (1882-1956), whose "Winnie-the-Pooh" (1926) was created for his own son Christopher Robin.

Image Information Kenneth Grahame Kenneth Grahame (1859-1932) was born in Edinburgh but spent most of his childhood with relatives in Berkshire as his mother had died and his father, unable to cope with the children, had gone to live in France. This time in Berkshire gave Kenneth an abiding love of the countryside, especially the upper part of the River Thames. The Wind in the Willows , was published in 1908. The book offers an image of an idealised society and the characters are recognisable as the familiar types of people we meet in our lives. There was a bit of the timorous Mole in Kenneth Grahame as he was too nervous to leave the Bank, and there was some of the outdoors Rat and the adventurous Toad in him too.

33. Kenneth Grahame Kenneth Grahame 18591932 Kenneth Grahame was the cousin of Sir Anthony Hope,who wrote the swashbuckling Victorian masterpiece The Prisoner of Zenda. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/railway/age/grahame_bio.html

Kenneth Grahame was the cousin of Sir Anthony Hope, who wrote the swashbuckling Victorian masterpiece The Prisoner of Zenda. Grahame's own Edwardian masterpiece, The Wind in the Willows, could hardly be more distant in spirit and substance from its cousin. Even in the 1890s, Grahame had already moved away from the adventure story epitomized by Hope's novel. His Dream Days (1895) and Golden Age (1898) were minor successes, critically praised at the time for their realistic portrait of childhood, filtered through the sharp eyes and sensible voice of their child narrators. A Scotsman by birth and a banker by profession, Grahame approached his writing from the periphery of the literary world. The Wind in the Willows, with its vivid characters of Rat, Badger, Mole, and Toad and their life on the riverbank, was originally not intended for publication but rather as a collection of stories for his son. Published in 1908, The Wind in the Willows became considerably more popular with A.A. Milne's 1930 stage version of it, Toad of Toad Hall.

When he was five, his mother sent the children to live with relatives in England. Kindly treated, yet emotionally isolated, the Grahame children constructed a world full ofchildhood pleasures, a world that Kenneth left at the age of nine when he went to St. Edward's Schook, a world whose memory was to remain alive in an adult life in which he found no happiness to equal that of his early years. Lack of funds ended his dream of attending Oxford and forced him to take a position with the Bank of England, where he achieved a successful career. In 1891 he anonymously published the first of his evocations of childhood, The Olympians , in the National Observer The Golden Age (1895) and Dream Days (1898) established his fame.
