The Wind in the Willows - Chapter 08 : Toad's Adventures

The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame is a children's story that lives in the hearts and minds of its readers well into adulthood. With its subtle blend of anthropomorphism and very-British humor, the book is a classic tale of river life and friendship. The book is considered a classic, and it was placed 38th on Robert McCrum's list for The Guardian of the 100 greatest books of all time. The Wind in the Willows is surprisingly dark and thrilling in places—particularly in the later chapters and the battle of Toad Hall. 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.
