It's illustrated by the guy that did the Brothers Grimm as well, one of my nicer books.
>>16360006
Forgot to mention with pic, but I highly recommend Wind in the Willows, A River Runs Through It, and A Month in the Country (which is perfect for you). Walton's book is good, but it is denser so I wouldnt start with that despite it being a wonderful classic.
