Hated Lady Toad with a passion. I appreciate what was trying to be achieved with the gender swap and it was certainly an easier listen than listening to men gallivanting around, but I still didn’t enjoy most of it and it felt like pulling teeth. I do commend the audio quality, cast performances, and sound effects though.

I loved the film where Rik Mayall voiced Toad of Toad Hall growing up as a child. As an adult it was lovely to read The Wind in The Willows as an adult.
It is a product of its time, with some of the remarks and observations made by the animals not always being appropriate in 2024. But the overall theme of the importance of friendship is a great thing for children to continue to hear about today.

What a pleasant little story about the adventures of true friends, through thick-and-thin.

The beginning of this book felt like a big warm hug - it described everything that is wonderful about summer.
The rest was okay. I like the characters all except Toad, though that's the point. As such, I didn't care too much for the chapters about Toad's escapades. I enjoyed Mole and his domestic life, living his happiness quite content. The bit with Pan was weird but I kinda liked how odd it was.
Overall, I feel like I might read the first few pages over and over forever but not sure I'll bother with the rest of the book.
