The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame
5.0

If it is at all possible, I think re-reading this as an adult made this book better. Or perhaps it is the time we are living in... the concerns of coronavirus, the worry about the political climate, the desire for racial justice. And for a few hours, I was able to escape all that to life with Mole and Ratty. A place where differences are not bad, where everyone is welcome, and where the ability to just head out to no where, is absolutely okay. The writing is profound... with lots of adult nuggets tucked away! I highly recommend getting lost in the Willows!
