Summary of The Wind in The Willows
One of the most intelligent, gentle and wonderful classics - loved by children and treasured by the child in all of us. A perfect balance for a child: wild and wonder-filled action and lyrical descriptions - it's a terrific introduction to the wonders of the language in the hands of a true master. "[Mole] thought his happiness was complete when, as he meandered aimlessly along, suddenly he stood by the edge of a full-fed river. Never in his life had he seen a river before--this sleek, sinuous, full-bodied animal, chasing and chuckling, gripping things with a gurgle and leaving them with a laugh, to fling itself on fresh playmates that shook themselves free, and were caught and held again." Grahame's elegant, delightfully old-fashioned characterizations of the animals--make this book a wonderful read-aloud. The Wind in the Willows has enchanted readers for four generations and will continue to as long as loving and caring parents and guardians introduce it to their children. Enjoy!Mythology Books
