===Sequels and alternative versions===
* [[Jan Needle]]'s ''Wild Wood'' was published in 1981 with illustrations by William Rushton ({{ISBN|0-233-97346-X}}). It is a re-telling of the story of ''The Wind in the Willows'' from the point of view of the working-class inhabitants of the Wild Wood. For them, money is short and employment hard to find. They have a very [[parallel novel|different perspective]] on the wealthy, easy, careless lifestyle of Toad and his friends.
* [[Dixon Scott]]'s ''A Fresh Wind in the Willows'', illustrated by [[Jonathon Coudrille]], was published by [[Heinemann (publisher)|Heinemann]]/Quixote in England in 1983 and [[Dell Yearling]] in the United States in 1987.
* [[William Horwood (novelist)|William Horwood]] created several sequels to ''The Wind in the Willows'': ''The Willows in Winter'', ''Toad Triumphant'', ''The Willows and Beyond'', and ''[[The Willows at Christmas]]'' (1999). These books include some of the same incidents as Scott's sequel, including a climax in which Toad steals a Bleriot monoplane.
* [[Jacqueline Kelly]]'s sequel ''Return to the Willows'' was published in 2012.
* [[Kij Johnson]] published ''The River Bank'' in 2017. If ''Wild Wood'' reimagined Grahame's work through a shift of class, Johnson's work may be said to do the same thing through [[revisionism (fictional)|shift]] of gender.
* [[Daniel Mallory Ortberg]] included the story "Some of Us Had Been Threatening Our Friend Mr. Toad," which blends ''Wind in the Willows'' with the [[Donald Barthelme]] short story "Some of Us Had Been Threatening Our Friend Colby," in his 2018 collection ''The Merry Spinster: Tales of Everyday Horror''. In Ortberg's retelling, Toad's friends are abusive and use the guise of "rescuing" their friend to justify violence and manipulation.
* Frederick Thurber's ''In the Wake of the Willows'' was published in 2019. It is the New World version of the original, recounting the adventures of the same set of characters and their children, who lived on a coastal estuary in southern New England.
* Dina Gregory released an all-female adaptation on [[Audible (service)|Audible]] in 2020. The story sticks very closely to the original, but with Lady Toad, Mistress Badger, Miss Water Rat, and Mrs Mole.<ref>{{cite web|title=Audible: The Wind in the Willows|url=https://www.audible.co.uk/pd/The-Wind-in-the-Willows-Audiobook/B08MB2SJMH?ref=a_library_t_c5_libItem_&pf_rd_p=7bf74090-5cb9-4f5e-bc6f-6ea28d055287&pf_rd_r=QBX52VRMH37Y5VT7WNQN|access-date=14 August 2021}}</ref>
* Peter Darne’s and Leon Mitchell's ''The Wind in the Willows'' was published as an audiobook in 2024 with original illustrations by Peter Darnes. The illustrations are based on the early artistic style of Peter Darnes drawings from his childhood, using soft pastel pencils. The adaptation is an infusion of telling the story of ''The Wind in the Willows'' with the classic texts and characters, supported by newly produced music and soundscapes to give the audiobook a modern take. The audiobook was produced by British award winning director and BAFTA member Leon Mitchell.
