Table of contents
But, after going off on my own madcap adventure at the age of 30, I got more out his character. And I recognize my own strong personality in his fierce loyalty. I think part of the charm of reading the book as an adult was that I didn't feel the need to box myself in as one of the characters, the way children who are learning to self-identify do. I already was old enough to know that I have a little bit each of Ratty and Toad in me, and a whole lot of Mole. And I was old enough to be okay with that.
To the general question, "Is this book for children? Most kids' books are written by adults. Sure, picture books or early readers are for kids, but they have a charm for adults, too. I can't tell you how much love I have for the Frances and Jenny Linsky books, and I didn't read those growing up. I suspect most adults who write novels for children, such as TWitW or Winnie the Pooh, really are writing out of nostalgia for their own childhood--so of course, we adults who have our own wisp of longing can relate, too.
It's the same nostalgia that drives me to mix a Suicide on Opening Day every spring and toast not only MLB, but that awkward kid I was--the one who couldn't hit or field or pitch but who loved the sport just as much as the jock who could. I just add rum to my drink now that I'm old enough.
A good story is a good story, no matter the age level at which it is aimed.

I cringe, though, when I look at what is marketed to teens and young adult readers today. I know we had bad series fiction when I was a kid, and I survived reading it without my brain turning to mush, but.

A Clockwork Princess as literary fiction? Really, amazon and Barnes and Noble? Okay, now I'm really gone. My ride arrives in an hour, and I've not packed. Bye, Os. Have a great weekend! I loved the stories on a primary level. Upon reading it again as an adult, the deeper meanings become evident, and I can enjoy it for the subtlties I missed as a child. Thanks for the covers, everyone. I have just discovered that I don't own a bound copy with the Ernest H Shepard illustrations.
I need to fix that, NOW More notes about the characters as drawn by Michel Plessix. Grahame clearly states in the first chapter that Ratty has "A brown little face, with whiskers. A grave round face, with the same twinkle in its eye that had first attracted his notice. Small neat ears and thick silky hair. He also never exhibits the warm and caring nature which is so singularly him. Toad is okay, but his eye-ridges are used occasionally for expressions of sternness and wrath that I don't associate with Toad.
Mole is more juvenile than I think appropriate. Badger lacks sufficient reserve and gravitas. Otter plays a much larger part in this version. I have to say he does justice to the dining hall mess that the weasels and stoats have created. It looks like a Peter Spier mess. I'm starting my examination of Robert Ingpen 's work now. I thought I would like it a lot more than I do, because his cover is very nice!
His inset pieces are much better.
Going back to character, one of the items that bothers me is that Ingpen's Badger wears an old red rugby shirt. He seems much more proper than that. And he dislikes crowds. I doubt he was ever a team sportsman. Any other opinions on details like this?

Thanks for posting the link. The writer was clever to remember that Moly was the name of the magical herb Odysseus used to resist Circe. I love the WITW excerpt at the end. Mmm, a plate of warm, buttered toast. Has anyone posted the Inga Moore illustrations? A theater company here in Chicago, called City Lit, successfully put on a musical Wind in the Willows. It was very good. Yes, I think we're unanimous in double thumbs up for Inga Moore.
There's a link to some of her illustrations in post 6. I shopped at Salvation Army today and found a Toad sweater! It's deep olive green wool, and it has raised knobs like warts all along the shoulders and arms. It couldn't be more perfect for my mood. I watched an animated cartoon version done in Australia by Burbank Films, released in The outside scenery was gorgeous at the beginning of the film. Unfortunately, that was the only positive.

The rest was slap-dash pretty awful. Rat was very scruffy looking, and Toad's voice was just too annoying. Lot's of the dialog was changed. I fast forwarded through the second half. To complete the careless handling, the publicity department misspelled Grahame's last name on the cover blurb. It looks like an anniversary edition is available, too. I've read quite a few books, as an adult, that I missed as a child. Most just have struck me as good books and I enjoyed reading them.
But a few have hit me as either, "I'm glad I read this for the first time now ," or, "I really wish I had read this as a child. I just can't, as an adult, find the magic in them.
