The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame

5.0

I read this to my sons (11 and 8) as part of our (my!) attempt to educate them with the classics. I was familiar with the general story but never knew what a literary delight this book was. My kids were definitely bored in some of the more philosophical passages but for me they were sublime. In general the kids enjoyed the tale (especially the antics of that old Toad - we speak of him all the time) but their star rating was 3 out of 5. So this 5* rating comes from me, for the surprise, for the delight and for the joy of the beautiful words of Kenneth Grahame.
