I understand completely the sweet sadness ...Wanda…<br /><br />I understand completely the sweet sadness of being reminded about certain things. I'm sorry I made you cry, but glad you have the wonderful memories to cry about. ((Does that make sense?) <br /><br />"The Wind in the Willows" is one of my all-time favorite books, and I still read it quite regularly. I was raised on books and reading, and being read to as a child—but oddly, I didn't discover TWITW until I was an adult. I read it to my daughter, Lacy, of course. <br /><br />I've long played a sort of mental game of keeping a list of books under the heading: "If you had to limit yourself to x number of books, which ones would you choose?" No question TWITW would make the 100-book list; and the 50-book list, and the 25 and the 10…and even the x "absolutely essential" 5-book list. I probably have a dozen editions of it on my shelves. <br /><br />The scene of those little caroling field mice gathered before Mole's cozy home, singing glad tidings while he and Rat watch—and afterwards, inside, the mulled ale and the shared impromptu supper…this is to me one of most delightful moments in all of literature, a quintessential part of my Christmas reading.Grizz…………https://www.blogger.com/profile/04828454689578685330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322683719539438825.post-88087816922191680182009-12-02T11:46:35.896-05:002009-12-02T11:46:35.896-05:00Oh Griz..... this is a good one!
