The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame – Review

Rating:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

Kenneth Grahame’s The Wind in the Willows is a children’s story that stays with its readers long after they have grown up. The novel, with its delicate combination of anthropomorphism and very British humor, is a classic story of river life and friendship. The novel is well-known for its characters, including the slightly pretentious and foolish Toad, who is fully consumed by his newest infatuation, and the wise old Badger, who is crotchety but has high esteem for his pals. They are characters that exemplify the English characteristics of fortitude and good humor.

The book provides something that few novels of its time can claim: all-around entertainment for all ages. The story confirms the power of close friends and the courage to make a difference in the lives of others.The Wind in the Willows is both wickedly hilarious and immensely entertaining. This is one of the best children’s books of all time.
