Author:Kenneth Graham / Year: 1859-1932 / Genre: 12 & over This much-loved story follows a group of animal friends in the English countryside as they pursue adventure ... and as adventure pursues them!
The chief characters - Mole, Rat, and Toad - generally lead upbeat and happy lives, but their tales are leavened with moments of terror, homesickness,
awe, madcap antics, and derring-do. Although classed as children's literature, The Wind in the Willows holds a gentle fascination for adults too.
The vocabulary is decidedly not "Dick and Jane", and a reader with a love of words will find new ones to treasure, even if well-equipped for the journey.
