The Wind in the Willows is a book for those "who keep the spirit of youth alive in them; of life, sunshine, running water, woodlands, dusty roads, winter firesides." So wrote Kenneth Grahame of his timeless tale of Rat, Mole, Badger, and Toad, in their lyrical world of gurgling rivers and whispering reeds, a world which is both beautiful and benevolently ordered. But it is also a world threatened by dark forces--"the Terror of the Wild Wood" with its "wicked little faces" and "glances of malice and hatred"--and defended by the mysterious Piper at the Gates of Dawn. In the end, Grahame triumphantly succeeds in conveying his most precious theme: the miracle of loyalty and friendship. This tale of four friends and their adventures is a timeless classic that will inspire and delight listeners of all ages.

Visst är den mysig på ett sådär brittiskt dricka-te-och-äta-scones-framför-brasan-vis, och kanske hade jag tyckt annorlunda om jag läst den som barn eller för ett barn. Men som det är nu är den helt enkelt lite, lite för tråkig.

Bra bok, men det finns en obehaglig gammaldags klassmoral under ytan - de fattiga hålls på sin plats, och det är skillnad på folk och folk osv.
