knitswithbeer 's review for:

The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame
5.0

I first met Toad of Toad Hall aged 6 or 7, in a play for kids at Bolton Little Theatre and read the book when a little older.
I remember the humour but wasn't prepared for the poetry.
The passage when Rat meets the Seafaring Rat was lyrical and moving. I was transported by not only the words but Cush Jumbo's voice.
