Biography (Kenneth Grahame)
Kenneth Grahame, 1859 in Edinburgh geboren, musste nach dem Tod seiner Eltern nach Oxford übersiedeln. Da er sich ein Studium nicht leisten konnte, trat er in die Dienste der Bank von England, wo er bis in den Vorstand aufrückte. 1907 gab er seine Position aus gesundheitlichen Gründen auf. Inzwischen hatte er sich mit Erzählungen, ursprünglich für seinen Sohn geschrieben, einen Namen als Autor gemacht. Zu seinen berühmtesten Werken zählt die Geschichte vom Fluss "Der Wind in den Weiden", ein Klassiker der Kinderliteratur. Grahame starb 1932 in Pangbourne.
