The Wind in the Willows (with explanatory notes)The Wind in the Willows (with explanatory notes)

One of the best-known classics of children's literature, a timeless masterpiece and a vital portrait of an age, The Wind in the Willows began originally in Kenneth Grahame's letters to his young son, where he first recounted the adventures of Rat and Badger, of Mole and Toad--all narrated in virtuoso language ranging from lively parody to elaborate fin-de-si�cle mysticism.

Mysticism in English Literature Writer's Note :
The variety of applications of the term "mysticism" me to restrict myself here to a discussion of that philosophical
type of mysticism which concerns itself with questions of ultimate reality. My aim, too, has been to consider this subject in connection with great English writers. I have had, therefore, to exclude, with regret, the literature of America, so rich in mystical thought.
