ecuathai 's review for:
The Wind in the Willows
by Kenneth Grahame
As a child I tried reading this book but having difficulty with non-realistic books could never draw myself into it. It was dry, dull, boring, brown.
As an adult (who can now appreciate fiction), I decided to suck-it-up and read it to my very imaginative, animal-loving child and found myself asking "why have I not read this before!?!". The prose, the eloquence, the imagery is simply marvelous.
Kenneth Grahame was pure genius in this writing. He takes Shakespeares genius with words and arguments and weaves it with Jane Austin's genius with eloquence and depth with words and meaning and produces a masterpiece for readers young and old alike.
My partner and I took turns reading this book to our child each night. but found ourselves asking..."so what happened in the book tonight?".
