The Wind in the Willows
Overview & Summary
In the idyllic English countryside along a riverbank, sensible Mole, wise Rat, gruff Badger, and the wildly irresponsible, car-obsessed Mr. Toad share a series of gentle adventures and misadventures, most memorably when Toad's reckless enthusiasms land him in prison and require his friends to help him reclaim his ancestral home from invading weasels. Kenneth Grahame's 1908 novel is a beloved classic of pastoral, animal-centered fantasy.
