The Wind in the Willows

The Wind In The Willows is a comical story that tells the tale of adventerous friends that truly have one goal in mind, keep Toad out of trouble. The tale begins with little Mole adventuring outside of his home in search of a place where he doesn't have to do spring cleaning, and we all know how that feels. Ick, Cleaning!
Toad meets Ratty and they have adventures up and down the river, Mole falls in love with the River and decides to learn as much as he could about it. However, Rattys good friend decides to make an appearance and turns Moles life up and down. You see, Toad is a rich little fellow who can't get enough of new gadgets. He can move from idea to idea in less than a fortnight, and in the same amount of time spends and spends his dear fathers money.
One day Mole decides to have an adventure on his own and goes into the Wide World where he falls victim to the scary forest. While lost he stumbles into a hollow lump where he stays while Ratty sleeps on. Ratty finds his dear friend, but unfortunately they need to find a safe shelter while an early winter storm attacks.
I'd love to tell you more about Ratty, Badger, Toad and dear Mole however it would take more than one blog to explain all of their doings and all of their comical, dangerous and sometimes just down right silly adventures.
Pick up a copy of The Wind in the Willows which shouldn't be too hard, it wasn't written today, it was written yesterday! The history buff that I am loves this book as well because in Wind in the Willow there is no modern equipment, no electronics, and the most advanced piece of history is the original motor car, which Toad finds himself in lots of trouble with!  So if you like talking animals, fiction, history and a sense of adventure, you will love this book!
