This is one of the more interesting chapters in Wind in the Willows. Rat and Mole go looking for Otter’s lost son and encounter a God.
There’s a lot to think about in this chapter. Grahame is such an excellent writer and he rises to new highs in this chapter. This would be a very hard [...]

It’s strange, but I used to not like this chapter. So much that I almost always skipped over it. Reading it now, I think I was crazy. I love this chapter.
