Wonder

The Wind in the Willows

by Kenneth Grahame

Mole leaves his spring cleaning and discovers the river, Ratty, messing about in boats, and the magnificent disaster that is Mr. Toad. Grahame’s riverbank is a pastoral idyll with motor-cars roaring through it, and “The Piper at the Gates of Dawn” is one of the quietest chapters ever written for children.
