The Wind in the Willows
by Kenneth Grahame
This is a re-read for me as it was one of the few books I owned as a young girl. I'm reading from the most beautiful book I currently own -- the Folio Society Edition. I'm very excited.
And a very satisfying read indeed. Such a pleasure to be reacquainted with the River Rat, the Mole, the Badger — and, of course — Toad of Toad Hall. The illustrations were the originals by Charles van Sandwyk, and the stories themselves written by Kenneth Grahame combined to, now and then, bring me back to the little girl I was some 60 years ago, reading my pocket-sized edition, on a blanket set on the lawn in my old back yard. LOVED IT.
The Read-What-I-Own Challenge update: Book #2 of 20.
