Oh how right he was, the water rat: 'Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing -- absolutely nothing --half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats." And this enduring children's classic is as stimulating and just plain wonderful as when it was penned by Kenneth Grahame in 1908. This gloriously illustrated edition (with the original full color paintings and drawings by Ernest Shepard) was published in celebration of the book's 75th anniversary.  (GBR481, $21.00)
