The Wind in the Willows

Friday July 20, 2007
The Wind in the WillowsWhat can we learn from a rat, a mole, a toad, and other creatures?

I still remember when I first read The Wind in the Willows. It's a great entertainment experience for readers of all ages. And, once you've read it, you're not likely to forget the read.

In The Wind in the Willows, we read: "Animals arrived, liked the look of the place, took up their quarters, settled down, spread, and flourished. They didn't bother themselves about the past - they never do; they're too busy."

Read more quotes from the novel, or read the entire text. Also take a look at a review. Have you read this book? What did you think? Would you recommend it to others? And, what does this tale say about our society?
