The Wind in the Willows is a classic of children's literature by Kenneth Grahame, first published in 1908. The novel is notable for its mixture of mysticism, adventure, morality, and camaraderie and celebrated for its evocation of the nature of the Thames valley. Alternately slow moving and fast paced, it focuses on four anthropomorphised animal characters in a pastoral version of England.
This book has it all: excitement, sentiment, destruction of private property (plenty of that), paganism, and a happy ending. The classic story of how Rat, Mole, and the other river bankers saved Toad from his excesses. The prose is beautiful and occasionally requires the use of a dictionary.
Written as a children's story, The Wind in the Willows is enjoyed by many grown ups who relish Grahame's ability to evoke the long summer days of childhood.
