This is such a beautiful book. I love the chapters of Mole longing for his home, of Mole and Rat discovering Pan in the woods, and the restlessness and wanderlust of Rat in hearing tales of travel and excitement from a sea-faring rat. It's a beautifully written story. Malcolm Guite describes one of the passages as probably one of the most beautifully written passages in the English language.
I've been through the story twice now. I will be picking it up again sometime in the future. This last time I listened to Malcolm Guite read through the entire story. Hearing it read out loud is such a wonderful experience. I hope to read it, or parts of it, in a similar way to my son someday.
