The Wind in the Willows
by Kenneth Grahame
This book is most famous for the story of Toad, a narcissist with an addictive personality, and his long-suffering friends. All of that stuff is certainly entertaining, but the lavish descriptions of genteel country living and cozy fire sides are what won me over.
“One of these [doors] the Badger flung open and they found themselves in all the glow and warmth of a large fire-lit kitchen. . . . It seemed a place where heroes could fitly feast after victory, where weary harvesters could line up in scores along the table and keep their Harvest Home with mirth and song, or where two or three friends of simple tastes could sit about a they pleased and eat and smoke and talk in comfort and contentment.”
