This is one of the very few books that I have read more than once, the characters are particular friends of mine and I like their open, trusting honesty - as well as their loyalty with a slight query about Toad. I live in Wales (Look it up or Google it if you need to, it's a principality tacked on the side of England (howls of indignation offstage!)) and I have been 'phoning a grand-daughter who lives in France to read this as a bedtime book to her. She loves it, though she will have no truck at all with Mr. Toad, she considers him creepy. Although I can see her point of view, I think that a little harsh; stupid would suit better. We are within half a chapter of the conclusion and I am stumped for a follow-on book unless I read her 'The Secret Garden' or 'Alice in Wonderland/Through the Looking Glass'. I suspect that 'Moby Dick' or 'Robinson Crusoe' may offend her apparently rather delicate sensibilities! Kenneth Graham was a master story-teller and it's just such a pity that we don't seem to have anyone of his calibre around at present. I don't care what age you are, you should really enjoy this book. Ken
