Features: Kenneth Grahame was born in Edinburgh in 1859 and died in 1932. He worked at the Bank of England for many years and was also a writer. The Wind in the Willows was initially just a bedtime story he told his youngest son, Alastair, affectionately nicknamed "Little Mouse." Published in 1908, it became one of the most famous children's books in history. The Bookworm is a premium offering from Oxford University Press for English learners worldwide. The term "bookworm" carries a rather endearing image in English—imagine a completely absorbed, book-obsessed creature diligently gnawing on letters. Now, this "bookworm" has crossed the seas and landed gracefully in the hands of Chinese English learners. The Bookworm will first give you confidence—even if you currently only know a few hundred words, you can easily read world-class masterpieces. The bookworm will also remind you persistently with its delicate chirping: keep reading, read widely and richly. By the time you finish the last book in the series, you might suddenly discover that you have transformed like a caterpillar into a butterfly, ready to take flight!
