The Wind in the Willows
By: Kenneth Grahame
Published: 1908
If you want to recapture the magic of childhood, The Wind and the Willows by Kenneth Grahame is the book for you. The book follows a group of Anthropomorphic animals living in the country side of England, and tells the stories of their various antics. The descriptions of the river and the surrounding country side make you wish for a simpler kind of life, and long summer days that can be spend with the Water Rat and the Mole boating along the shimmering river. A little advanced in size and vocabulary for the youngest of reader, this is a great book for an older child, to be read to a younger child, or for anyone who enjoys the simple magic of a children’s book.
