Book Review: The Wind in the Willow - Kenneth Grahame

 

The Wind in the Willows is a fantastic children's novel written by Kenneth Grahame. The book starts with Mole, who wanders from his home and ends up on a series of brilliant adventures with Toad (of Toad Hall), Ratty and Badger. 

The novel isn't particularly long which is great for a kids novel. I can imagine children in the 80's being read this before bed, with parents putting on voices for each of the characters. I pretty much did this as I read it which probably added to the enjoyment factor. 

Toad is obsessed with modes of transport which often dictate how the adventures of the team go and my favourite story ends with them all in a ditch. If you know, you know! If you don't, you really should give this a read! 

As it is a children's book, I don't really have too much to say about it. The ending has some moral teachings which is great with any kids book but overall it was just a fun and jovial read. 

I gave The Wind in the Willows 4⭐️'s and they were each well deserved.
