Jeremy Sams: The Wind in the Willows (Samuel French Ltd)
Unknown Binding
Published by Samuel French Ltd.
Such a joyful, picturesque little book.
Of its time, there are several offhanded sexist comments which I might omit if I were reading it to a child but it certainly doesn’t dominate the story.
Not really what I expected, I have to say.
Now I know I'm looking at it with grown up eyes and probably shouldn't look for too much logic in a kids book, but I was terribly confused by the relationship between men and animals in this book, or even between animals and other animals (e.g., horses). And I still don't get the title.
But yeah, it was OK.
