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!"
When Mole decides to go for a walk one beautiful spring morning he has little idea of the world that awaits in the Wild Wood! He meets brave Ratty, kind old Badger and the rascally Mr Toad, and together they go adventuring. The Wind in the Willows is a must-read classic of children's literature, this novel is one of the best-known British children's tales of all time.
