With this extreme windy weather we have been having in our corner of the world, I thought it would be fun to compile a list of books that revolve around wind in some way.

• Winnie the Pooh books have some adventures that revolve around wind (e.g. Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day)…
• Isaac’s Storm: A Man, a Time, and the Deadliest Hurricane in History – Erik Larson
• One Dead in the Attic: After Katrina – Chris Rose
• Grapes of Wrath – John Steinbeck (dirt and wind combined)
• Chasing the Monsoon – Alexander Frater
• The Wizard of Oz – L. Frank Baum (tornado)
• The Children’s Blizzard – David Laskin
• Seasons on Harris: A Year in Scotland’s Outer Hebrides – David Yeardon
• The Worst Hard Times – Tim Egan (Dust Bowl)
• A Strong West Wind – Gail Caldwell (memoir)
• Little House on the Prairie series have some windy incidents in them…
• Into Thin Air: A Personal Account of the Mount Everest Disaster – Jon Krakauer (high wind on mtn)
• Sahara – Michael Palin (travel writing)  (desert gets windy)
• Nine Lives: Death and Life in New Orleans – Dan Baugh
• The Wind in the Willows – Kenneth Graham
• Five Days in Memorial: Life and Death in a Storm-Ravaged Hospital – Sheri Fink (on TBR and looks great)
• The Great Storm (Galveston hurricane) – Lisa Waller Rogers
• Letters of a Woman Homesteader – Elinor Pruitt Stewart
• The Worst Journey in the World (Antarctic) – Aplsey Cherry Garrrard
• Gone with the Wind – Margaret Mitchell (haven’t read this one yet…)
• Lasso the Wind: Away to the West – Tim Egan (on TBR)
• The Boy who Harnessed the Wind – William Kamkwanba and Bryan Mealer
• The Wind – Dorothy Scarborough
• Shadow of the Wind – Carlos Ruiz Zafon (not really about wind, but it has it in title)
• The Little Prince – Antoine de Saint-Expury (wind plays a role – flight)
• The Cloudspotter’s Guide – Gavin Pretor-Pinney

Amazon suggests The Secret Garden classic as a “book about tornadoes” – this has one in it? (It’s been a while since I have read that one…)

Any others that you might recommend?…
