From AudioFile
This classic adventure story, set in early twentieth-century Britain, 
features the lovable characters Rat, Toad, Mole, and Badger. Narrator 
Shelly Frasier's clear, pleasant voice carefully distinguishes these 
four creatures, and it's easy to keep their identities straight, though 
her throaty characterization of Ratty's voice occasionally makes one 
want to cough. However, Frasier must constantly switch from her native 
American accent to the British voices of her characters, which is somewhat 
distracting at first, though one gets used to it as the story moves 
along. The naughty toad is her best creation--she seems to understand 
his dreamy but destructive love of motor cars completely. J.C.G. © AudioFile

From Booklist
In spirit, in style, and in technique, Benson's illustrations for The 
Wind in the Willows are first cousins to the book's original ink drawings 
by Ernest H. Shepard, which many consider so nearly perfect any new 
artwork is superfluous. However, from the endpaper maps to the quiet 
scenes of woods and riverbanks to the comical pictures of Toad's adventures, 
Benson's sensitive cross-hatched drawings offer excellent interpretations 
of characters and events. The best choice for any library would be to 
add this to the collection and let children choose the version that 
suits them. If they come across the other editions later, it will be 
like looking through a cousin's photos of a long-ago family reunion: 
so familiar and so full of beloved characters, yet seen from a slightly 
different perspective. Any way you look at it, this new edition will 
be treasured. Carolyn Phelan

The Merriam-Webster Encyclopedia of Literature
A linked series of animal tales by Kenneth Grahame, considered a classic 
of English children's literature. The book was begun as a series of 
bedtime stories for Grahame's son and was published in 1908. The tales 
relate the adventures of four animal friends and neighbors in the English 
countryside--Mole, Rat, Toad (of Toad Hall), and Badger. Although the 
animals converse and behave like humans, each creature also retains 
its distinctive animal habits.
