The artwork is an aquarelle, with thin, precise, detailed lines. It's no wonder he received numerous awards for his previous effort, Julien Boisvert, a contemporary take on the Tintin character type. In Wind in the Willows, Plessix breathes life into Mole, Rat, and Toad (of Toad Hall) as they picnic on the riverbank, indulge in Toad's latest fad, and get lost in Wild Wood. The pacing is masterful: each panel lingers just long enough to make you appreciate the simple pleasures of life. This review refers to ISBN 1561631965.

Never in his life had he seen a river beforethis sleek, sinuous, full-bodied animal, chasing and chuckling, gripping things with a gurgle and leaving them with a laugh, to fling itself on fresh playmates that shook themselves free, and were caught and held again." Such is the cautious, agreeable Mole's first introduction to the river and the Life Adventurous. Emerging from his home at Mole End one spring, his whole world changes when he hooks up with the good-natured, boat-loving Water Rat, the boastful Toad of Toad Hall, the society- hating Badger who lives in the frightening Wild Wood, and countless other mostly well-meaning creatures.

JSA * This full-cast, beautifully dramatized version of the classic children's book features accomplished BBC actors (Richard Briefs as Rat, Nickolas Grace as Toad and Adrian Scarborough as Mole, with Alan Bennett as the narrator) and beautifully done music and sound effects. Both adults and children, whether new to the story or not, will be captivated. The story follows Toad, Rat, and Mole in their adventures, with, of course, most of the drama stemming from Toad's delusions about motorcars and his supposedly elevated place in the world. The development of the friendship between Rat and Mole is charming, and the actors portraying them are warm and funny. Regional British accents differentiate the animals, and there is an excellent children's chorus appropriately placed in the story. Flawless and fascinating, this wonderful production would be an asset to any library collection. Melody Moxley, Admin. Svcs.

The following is a Gaslight etext.... A message to you about The blue room by Kenneth Grahame from The Golden Age (Note: Kenneth Grahame's mother, Elizabeth, died in 1864 before the future author of The Wind in the Willows was five years old. Afterwards his father, Cunningham Grahame, abandoned his four childrenHelen, Thomas, Kenneth, and Rolandleaving them in the care of their formidable maternal grandmother, Granny Ingles, who lived in a rambling old house called The Mount, at Cookham Dene in Berkshire. It was here that Kenneth learned to love nature, distrust the "Olympians" as he called the adults in his life (numerous aunts and uncles), and unknowingly pile up the experiences that would later form the basis for the stories in his collection, The Golden Age The Golden Age concerns a group of orphaned children in much the same circumstances as the young Grahames. The stories are loosely connected and easily stand on their own. They are told by an unnamed Narrator, obviously Grahame's alter ego , who looks back on his boyhood years with amusement, affection, and a certain sadness that, as Grahame put it, "the gate had been shut" to the garden of childhood forever.)
