Wind in the Willows

[theatokos]

I've been reading Wind in the Willows to Bennett. It seems far too advanced to be considered a children's book - the language is complex and the plot is not quite what I'm used to in kids' literature. But we're both enjoying it.

However, I am beginning to see far too much of Mr Toad in me for my liking. Yet some how he manages to keep a close band of loyal friends about him, so perhaps it'll be alright in the end.

I wouldn't have pegged you as Toad.

Well, excellent. Perhaps it is just my cranky pants today that are making me unable to see clearly. They bind a bit much, the crankypants do.
