Book Eighteen: The Wind in the Willows

The Wind in the Willows, Kenneth Grahame



Have you ever read a book that captures a feeling and a place so perfectly that you never, ever want to leave it? I know I'm a little late in the game on this one, but seriously, The Wind in the Willows is that book for me. Everything about the life of Mole, Rat, Badger, and Toad by the river sounds like my idea of heaven. I want to pack up and move in with Ratty and Moly and eat picnic lunches and laze around in the rowboat and visit Badger in the Wild Wood and even--even!--put up with Toad's antics.

Also, how cute are these little Puffin Classics editions?
