Sarah Bourdeau asked this question about
The Wind in the Willows:
I'm a bit confused as to what the purpose of the demigod in the book was. It felt like a random thing in the middle of the book and like it didn't really fit in. Does anybody know or have any ideas as to why it was included?
Karen
It shows the deeper spiritual side of the creatures in the book, a counterbalance to the materialism of Toad, and the rationalism of Ratty.
