Notes

Kenneth Grahame’s The Wind in the Willows (1908) is a beloved children’s classic that blends whimsical adventure with themes of friendship and home. It follows four anthropomorphic animals—Mole, Rat (a water vole), Toad, and Badger—as they navigate the English countryside and riverside life. Mole and Rat form a close bond, enjoying peaceful days on the river, but their lives are disrupted by the reckless and vain Toad, whose obsession with motorcars leads to wild misadventures, prison, and the loss of his ancestral home, Toad Hall, to weasels and stoats. With loyalty, courage, and humor, his friends help him reclaim Toad Hall and temper his reckless ways. At once gentle and adventurous, the story celebrates nature, camaraderie, and the comforts of belonging.
