The Wind in the Willows
by Kenneth Grahame
This was an inspired choice by a fellow book club member for this month's read. I fondly remember reading The Wind in the Willows and looked forward to being reacquainted with Toad, Rat, Mole and Badger. However, one thing that struck me is how differently you read it as an adult - you have baggage of a life lived that is different from that of a young, innocent mind. But still it's a wonderful world to escape into. The descriptions are great - they really help paint a very vivid picture of life along the riverbank. The text is often very amusing and I thought also quite grown up in places but as a friend said, a child will gleam from it the information they want.
One last thing - I bought this 1974 copy for £1 (bargain!) at my local second hand bookshop. Not only are the illustrations within it so detailed but every so often I'd plunge my nose into the centre and smell the wonderful oldness of it. You can't get that from a kindle.
