January was "classics" month for me. Whatever that means, it included The Wind in the Willows. I think there was an animated film of it, wasn't there? I have to see it sometime. Sometimes watching the movie first can make a book all that much better. But this one. I guess it was a book for children? These animals smoke and drink beer and say ass. As a child, I would have thought this was all really cool, aside from the ridiculous prosiness of the whole thing.
I thoguht it was a good story. Mole and Water Rat become best friends, and Mr. Toad smartens up a bit. It's very much a city mouse/country mouse/growing up type of story. Pretty good stuff.
