One of the most celebrated works of classic literature for children

Meet little Mole, willful Ratty, Badger the perennial bachelor, and petulant Toad.

Trying to review The Wind in the Willows is a strange undertaking. In the introduction to my copy, A. A. Milne wrote:

"One can argue over the merits of most books... one does not argue about The Wind in the Willows. The young man gives it to the girl with whom he is in love, and if she does not like it, he asks her to return his letters. The old man tries it on his nephew, and alters his will accordingly. ...

Women were propagandising for the vote; the Irish were demanding Home Rule; the Trade Unions were showing their strength. Socialism theatened. A spectre was haunting Europe, and particularly England.

Wind in the Willows is an elegant parable about class struggle, about the dangers of decadant country-house-living in the face of powerful revolutionary forces.

There are maybe four generations in the story. There is the young man Ratty, a gentle sort of chap who spends his time messing about in boats. He is joined by the younger, less experienced Mole. Mole may even be petty-bourgeois, but he proves himself to be stout-hearted for all that. Mr Toad, however, has come into his inheritance, and lives in his country house. Toad is an irresponsible figure, taking up foolish hobbies of which, in the story, the most fateful is the motor car. The older man is Badger, and it is he that casts cold water on this irresponsibility.

But where is all this irresponsiblity going to lead? Outside this cosy comfortable setting, lie the dangerous forces in the Wild Wood. Mr Toad, besotted by his motor car, is arrested and sent to gaol. His defences down, his house is quickly occupied by the weasles and stoats who live in the Wild Wood.

To the rescue comes Mr Badger, who is wise enough to see that if Toad is to regain his valuable property, he must forsake idleness and frivolity and stand up to the people of the Wild Wood. So the band of gentlemanly heroes take up arms and re-establish the shaken social order.

"We shall creep out quietly into the butler's pantry -", cried the Toad,

"- with our pistols and swords and sticks - ", shouted the Rat,

"- and rush in upon them -", said the Badger,

"- and whack 'em and whack 'em and whack 'em - ", cried the Toad in ecstasy.

This is, then, a cautionary tale, a warning to the propertied classes to take up, if necessary, arms against the lower classes and to stop living lives of decadent indolence. (less)

I found myself smiling as I finished this reading of The Wind in the Willows. Yes I enjoyed the tale of Rat and Mole and Badger and Toad and all the other assorted animals and their people who populate that corner of England.

What struck me most during this reading, which is my second as far as I recall, is that this just doesn't feel like a children's book in so many ways. The language is so rich. The descriptions, whether of characters or places, are so full. I find this better in some ways as...more

Several times since I have moved in with the Kenyons, I have gotten in a disagreement with another opinionated member of the household over the value of "dark" literature versus "light" literature. "It is so easy to write about dark things," she might say. "Why don't we focus on happiness?" I think when most people read a "happy" story, they find it shallow, unrealistic, and boorish since, as any random perusal of the news will reveal, a lot of bad stuff happens in the world! Could we accept Hamlet and his uncle making up, "hugging it out," if you will, instead of destroying each other? This ending would not be consistent with human nature, and although "realism" does not have to be included on the list of requirements for a good book, a great literary work must be true to human nature. By the same token, I think we often make the mistake of calling "dark" art good simply because it is dark. "Ooh, did you see that new band? They wear black lipstick and sing about rat rabies. Hope you're mature enough to handle it." I think something that's dark just for the heck of it is just as shallow as something that's full of bunnies and rainbows and princess ponies.
Anyway, there is a profound difference between happiness and joy. Happiness is merely an emotion while joy is a state of being that is rarely felt. It is a rendezvous with the metaphysical delights that God has created to pleasure our souls: friendship, loyalty, love, forgiveness, etc. Sure, these can be found in any sugary, sappy Christmas special or "Full House" episode, but these are just shadows of the real things. Because of its precious nature, Joy will necessarily be rare compared to the darkness but in the end is infinitely more valuable.
Now, I'll step away from my ramblings and actually talk about the book. Although I don't think Kenneth Graham was an inkling, Wind in the Willows seems to fall in quite nicely with the works of Lewis and Tolkien. It not only has British charm, but it also has a healthy dose of that deep male comradarie that figures so prominently in Lord of the Rings. A bunch of bachelors who have settled comfortably into their ways, the animals in WIW remind me of retired Oxford dons who feel they need nothing more than peace, a good pipe, and the morning paper. When Mole and Rat are together, they don't have to talk about any particular thing to emotionally satisfy the other. It is enough for them to be together and in this atmosphere of acceptance, they will inevitably share their dreams with each other. The whole book just feels cozy.
I also respect any book that doesn't have to resort to the whole "good vs. evil" thing for plot or theme. These are simple characters with common experiences that become profound through their commonness. Being lost, coming home, sharing a meal, fearing the wide world, conquering a foe, learning to row. Although WIW is a children's book, these themes make it feel much more real than the melodramas put out by Hollywood. Mole and Rat even get a taste of the profound when they encounter Pan, whom I believe represents the spiritual side of life which modern folks so foolishly ignore and deny.
Anyway, I liked the book. You should read it. Blah, blah, blah!(less)

Lavishly described meandering adventures of the mild nature. The Wind in the Willows has an intrinsically English flavor. The characters are happy to live their ordinary lives with only a hint of interest in the wider world. Too strong of an adventurous spiritedness is considered uncouth. Such hearty frivolity as Toad's is frowned upon to the utmost! Unfortunately this goes for the author, Kenneth Grahame, as well. His plots are not terribly gripping due to their lack of depth.

I forgot how much I loved this book. Previous reviewers I have read seem to find it wordy or cumbersome. Personally, I find it beautifully descriptive. I am currently reading it to my 3 and 4 year old boys at bed time, a half a chapter at a time, and they seem to be enjoying it, as well. No, its not a quick, easy read, but it is worth it for all the lost vocabulary that we see so seldom in modern author's works.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a wonderful tale!

Every character in this story is distinct, full of life, and their voices leap out of the page.

The scenes are simply beautiful. There's a dreaminess to the pacing that sets you back a hundred years or more when people in the Americas used to share their food and talk at great length with strangers.

They don't write books like The Wind in the Willows anymore.

Today's books for children are sly rhymes, action and social engineering. Wind belongs to an older, more innocent time when even accomplished men such as Kenneth Grahmane, A. A. Milne and J. R. r. Tolkien invented stories for their children.

Stories which over the years became classics of literature.

The characters are all animals - Mole, Toad, Ratty, Badger & others —
who retain their intrinsic animal characteristics while being anthropomorphised: they row boats, make tea, wear clothes, drive cars etc.

There is humor, danger, combat and friendship. Tea is drunk, battles are fought, the friends come to each others aid in times of need. And more.

Grahame subtly blends anthropomorphism with gentle, even erudite humour, centred on the rural Thames, as Toad is brought to appreciate his role as a leader in the community around Toad Hall. He tests the friendship of Rat, Mole and Badger, who rescue him from his giddy egocentrism and his disastrous obsession with motor cars, a passion that was gargantuan contrasted with his passing fancies for boats and caravans. His three friends are as passionate about their homes. But they see that the essential good in the aristocratic Toad is far better than the vulgar, uncouth weasels and stoats, the base churls who are not fit to replace Toad on his seat in the Hall.

The story demonstrates the power of friends to make a difference in each other’s lives, of the value of a solid sense of community, as when Badger is generous to the cockney squirrel children who bring him a message, or when Rat and Mole find Otter’s lost son, who has been enchanted by Pan; and when the four friends arm themselves with cudgels, cutlasses and pistols to drive the stoats and weasels from Toad Hall. Of course, the varlet ferrets are ridiculously easy to dislodge, but the story is more about kindness than one providing descriptions of an orgy of vindictive violence.

But before Toad can be restored to his ancestral home, he must undergo the indignities of a picaresque hero, being sentence by a stern judge to prison for stealing and smashing a motor car. He escapes as a washer-woman; is disparaged by a barge-woman, whose horse he steals; bargains with a gypsy for a meal in exchange for the horse; flees police on a train; and is plucked from the river by Rat as he he is swept past his friend’s boutique river residence.

Though ultimately it seems Toad has learned to curb his excesses, his vanity remains unimpaired. The four friends will continue in their easy-going lifestyle, enjoying the river and eating picnics. Their quintessence does not change, except that Toad has learned to value his home and his friends, and to preserve the things that he has. Valuing what one has, whether it is Mole’s dusty tunnel, Badger’s rambling network of chambers, Rat’s riverside residence or Toad’s manor, and the river that binds them all together.

Sometimes their "not getting it" has a profound effect on the view you hold of them. One such was an urge to go to the isolated islands of Shetland for a new year break. Another is Wind in the Willows.

This is a book you will either love or be bemused by, even hate. Do not expect urban grit or street cred. It is not a mere cute animal story and certainly not a thing Disney could hope to do well, although Cosgrave Hall did a very good animated film.

It is very English, and southern or Midlands English at that. It is anchored in a place and way of life. It is also a somewhat nostalgic book, I suspect it always was, as the certainties of rural life were under threat when it was written. In that it resembles Hardy.

Do not expect it to be entirely logical because it is not. The awkward issues of money and economics hardly get a mention, and servants presumably exist but never get described. The matter of size is simply ignored, the mole living in a burrow below a field,is one thing, yet Toad has a fine manor house and steals human's motor cars. Perhaps they slip in and out of their parallel existence? Do not worry about it. Children tend not to.

There are moments of comedy but also a deal of elegiac beauty and it is also a essentially a series of short stories apart from the adventures of Toad of course.

This book does not talk down to its audience. It uses words which are beyond a reading age of seven in places (unlike some newspapers) and it uses them beautifully. Selvedge in the context of describing a river is a favourite example. Its descriptions of the seasons ring true.

What it does portray is a series of adults, staying true to their animal natures and at the same time being accessible to an intelligent child. Like the best of fairy stories and animal stories it deals with some issues in a safe context. There is serious danger in parts and some nasty characters. The issue of being lost and alone in a hostile environment is brought up and dealt with.

I first read this as a young child and periodically re-read it. it is a wonderful book.
