The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame
- Amazon: 4.5/5
- Goodreads: 3.95/5
This book was written in 1908, when the world was being shaken by the newly self-confident masses. Women were propagandising for the vote; the Irish were demanding Home Rule; the Trade Unions were showing their strength. Socialism theatened. A spectre was haunting Europe, and particularly England.
The Wind in the Willows is an elegant parable about class struggle, about the dangers of decadent country-house-living in the face of powerful revolutionary forces.
Off the grid.
