Men In Boats Mola Pins and Buttons

The Wind in the Willows is a children's book by the British novelist Kenneth Grahame. It focuses on four anthropomorphised animals: Mole, Rat, Toad and Badger. They live in a pastoral version of Edwardian England. “Believe me my young friend, there is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats.” So says Ratty to Mole.

On his retirement from the Bank of England in 1908, Kenneth Grahame returned to Blewbury in Berkshire, the county in which he had grown up. In October that year he published The Wind in the Willows, a novel for children featuring an array of anthropomorphic characters, including Rat (a water vole), Mole, Toad, and Badger. Toad lives in a house on the edge of the River Bank, Toad Hall. Grahame's description of Toad Hall is sparse: "a handsome, dignified old house of mellowed red brick, with well-kept lawns reaching down to the water's edge".
