I was reading @flexnib's book meme blog post and was interested in what she hadn't read. Some surprised me, including this work. It is a fabulous tale and while the comical capers of Toad might get the limelight there is a surprising sense of the mystical power of nature that always takes my breath away and gives the book depth. I think people have seen so many derivatives of the story that they overlook the original work and are poorer as a result.
