    Three Men in a Boat—To Say Nothing of the Dog by Jerome K. Jerome (rakerman)
    rakerman: Although for an older audience than Wind in the Willows, Three Men in a Boat is a classic humourous story of misadventures with boats.

    Who was Changed and Who was Dead by Barbara Comyns (ToadsUSA)

Quotations
"Believe me, my young friend, there is NOTHING—absolutely nothing—half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats."
"After all, the best part of a holiday is perhaps not so much to be resting yourself, as to see all the other fellows busy working."
'Hang spring-cleaning!'

Disambiguation notice
Before combining, please ensure that you are NOT combining an abridgment, an adaptation, a junior edition or a selection from the story with the complete Wind in the Willows.

The first Dutch edition does not carry the title De wind in de wilgen, but is called De avonturen van Mr. Mol
The Usborne edition is complete and unabridged and can be combined with the main title.
This is the Ladybird Spanish edition, adapted by Antonia Maria Martel.
The text of 'Steam in the Willows' is the same as 'The Wind in the Willows.' The illustrator begs to stand apart because of her visual re-interpretations.
ISBN 0590447742 is a Scholastics Apple Classics edition of The Wind in the Willows.

Book description
Mole, Water Rat, Badger, and the mischievous Toad live a quiet life on banks of the River Thames with the rest of their animal friends. But Toad tends to get into trouble, and his passion for cars eventually results in his being caught and kept a helpless prisoner in the remotest dungeon of the best-guarded castle in all the land. Dressed as a washerwoman—and with some help from his friends—Toad manages to escape the castle and begins his journey home to Toad Hall. Originally published in 1908.
Haiku summary
Mole and Rat are chums,
Badger is a reclusive,
Toad causes trouble.
(Grimauds)
