Han voksede op hos sin bedstemor i Berkshire, fordi hans mor døde, da han kun var fem år gammel. I skolen i Oxford var han dygtig i både skolefagene og til sport. Han ville gerne have studeret på universitetet i Oxford, men familien var imod det, og han begyndte på kontor i Bank of England. Grahame begyndte at skrive som en flugt fra det kedelige bankliv, og han fik snart tekster publiceret i blade og aviser. Hans første samling historier, Pagan Papers, blev udgivet i 1893, efterfulgt af yderligere to antologier, The Golden Age og Dream Days. Vinden i piletræerne begyndte som godnathistorie for Grahames søn Alastair, med kælenavnet Mouse, og blev yderligere udviklet i breve til sønnen. Bogen blev udgivet i 1908 og blev med tiden en rigtig bestseller. Kenneth Grahame døde i 1932.ROBERT INGPENDen verdenskendte kunstner og foratter Robert Ingpen blev født i 1936.
