The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame (1908)

A charming and humorous story about the lives of creatures who live near a river, The Wind in the Willows is populated with talking animals who live much like humans, with miniature furniture in their burrows and tiny boats they can row. One of them, the wealthy Mr. Toad, lives in a mansion, has a passion for cars, drives wildly, and often crashes the vehicles. Known for its beautiful writing and beloved by both children and adults, the book is an essential of English literature. It’s been adapted for stage, radio, TV, and film.
