Description

Mole leaves the spring cleaning; Rat has a boat; Toad has a motorcar and no brakes; Badger has the Wild Wood. Grahame’s riverbank is friendship, seasons, and a home worth retaking from weasels. Pan at the edges, poetry in the oars. Adventure that still smells of waterweed. Toad Hall falls and is taken back; Mole smells home and panics toward it. The book is funny, then suddenly sacred, then funny again. England as a river that keeps its friends. Dawn on the river, and a house worth a fight.

Author

Kenneth Grahame (1859–1932) gave English literature one of its most beloved havens: the riverbank world of The Wind in the Willows. Mole, Rat, Badger, and the irrepressible Toad — speeding, boasting, repenting, and returning home — embody a comedy of friendship, freedom, and the pull of comfort.
