idk why this is so popular it’s so boring at the beginning. the plot summary for the rest sounds interesting but i actually dread picking this book up and end up just staring at the words and not reading them because i know it will be boring and not interesting, the only positive was that rat and mole are so gay for each other and i love that for them

This one makes you feel like you're with the wind... on a journey with Mole, Rat, Toad and Mr Badger.

This was and is one of the sweetest stories I've ever had read. It is super cute, sweet and breezy. It's written beautifully, it's heartwarming and has beautiful illustrations.

This book gives me an "all good feeling". It was so much fun! One of my favourite Children's Classic stories.

'“Well, well, perhaps I am a bit of a talker. A popular fellow such as I am - my friends get round me - we chaff, we sparkle, we tell witty stories - and somehow my tongue gets wagging. I have the gift of conversation. I’ve been told I ought to have a salon, whatever that may be.”'


Kenneth Grahame's 'Wind in the Willows' doesn't suffer from being over 100 years old. Every time I returned to it, it was like picking up a steaming mug of hot chocolate topped with marshmallow bits on a snow-clipped evening. The tale is focused on Mole, Ratty and Badger who are stalwart friends of the irrepressible Toad and seek to aid him from his mischief.

Has there been many a fictional character who is as flighty and poor a friend as Mr Toad? Bad decision after bad decision - from car crashes to prison - but I couldn't look away! I'm guessing Grahame must have received complaints from nearby washerwomen after publication - as how can Toad get away with looking like one for so long! What an actor though. Grahame also wrote him and all the other three main characters with such distinctive voices that they become like close friends.

An enjoyable children's classic.
