But I suppose that was the attitudes of many people during the time the book was written. It's interestinbg that these books, although written much earlier, aren't quite like that.

It was a firm favourite of mine too! I was just thinking the other day of how many of us probably grew up with books set in the leafy, green woodlands, shady, meandering rivers and rolling dales of Britain, and I wondered if we questioned the difference to what we actually experienced in our own environment. I don't think I did. I just got immersed in Toad, Ratty and Mole's world and slipped out again - maybe that's the power of good story? Thank you, Michael and Michael for posting. :) Loved reading about your childhood experiences of reading Wind in the Willows, Michael. It was a firm favourite of mine too!

This book sounds so appealing and interesting. I looked at this post and, like I normally do with long things on the internet, sighed but it read easily. :) They sound like fascinating books, the same family placed in different decades.
