Wind in the Willows* Read-Along starts on August 1st.

From Wikipedia, it is described as "a classic of children's literature by Kenneth Grahame, first published in 1908. Alternately slow moving and fast paced, it focuses on four anthropomorphised animal characters in a pastoral version of England. The novel is notable for its mixture of mysticism, adventure, morality, and camaraderie."


While I think I've started reading it before (but never finished) my strongest impression of the story is Mr. Toad's Wild Ride in Disneyland.  I'm looking forward to replacing that with an actual story.


We'll begin on Sunday, and I'll have the first set of questions (comprising approximately the first third of the novel - through Chapter 4) by the middle of next week.


Come along with me on this wild ride!
