Perhaps if I'd had pleasant memories of this book as a child I may have a different view of it while reading it as an adult. It's beloved by so many that I wish I'd been introduced to it, unfortunately I was never able to find the charm in it or maintain any lasting interest.

More review to come, but although I though the story was cute, I am not a fan of Mr. Toad and there was just a bit too much of him in this book for my taste. Also the scale-issue where animals like moles and frogs were the same size as humans just through me off at every turn and I just couldn't get...
