This is one of those books that is a delight to own, especialy in hardback with the wonderful illustrations by E.H.Shepherd. This is almost certainly based on Kenneth Grahame's childhood memories from the mid ninteenth century, and is a collections of tales of a family of four children all growing up together, in rural England. It is a time of innocence and simple pleasures. Each chapter is about a different event or experience, but they are linked by the same four children, and the other occasional characters that reapear from time to time. A delight to own and a delight to read.
