Sally Grindley, December 2010 Guest Editor, explains why she loves The Wind in the Willows:
"This is my all time favourite childrens’ book. Thanks, Mum, for introducing me to it! What wonderful characters and what a fabulous plot. You can’t help but love naïve little Mole, discovering life above ground for the first time; industrious Ratty, always on the go and mad about boating; avuncular Badger, ready with a wise word and a warm fire; and, of course, incorrigible Mr Toad, who never stops getting into the most extraordinary scrapes. The backdrop to it all is the Wild Wood, with its wicked bands of stoats and weasels. Watch out, Toad!"
One sunny spring day, Mole decides to visit the river bank. There he meets and soon becomes firm friends with Ratty, Badger, and car-crazy Mr Toad. Life on the river couldn't be better, until Toad's reckless driving lands him in jail. When the nasty weasels and stoats decide to take over Toad Hall, it's up to the friends to save the day.With classic black and white illustrations by Arthur Rackham throughout, this classic story is guaranteed to delight readers of all ages.ABOUT THE SERIES: The Arcturus Classics series brings together high-quality paperback editions of classics works, presented with contemporary graphic cover designs.
