Abstract
The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame is a classic. The story begins with Mole, fed up with his life in his hole, he decides leaves on holiday and soon meets Water Rat. But what started out as a vacation becomes Mole's new life. Mole, Rat, Badger, and the infamous Mr. Toad all live near the river. The first three friends live a peaceful life while Mr. Toad lives rather chaotically. As each chapter focuses on a different window of their lives, the story progresses through nearly a year and a half, closely following Mr. Toad's obsession with motor cars, his arrest, imprisonment, and escape.
