Author: St. Clare Audio

This much-loved story follows a group of animal friends in the English countryside as they pursue adventure … and adventure pursues them! The four chief characters – Mole, Rat, Badger, and Toad – generally lead upbeat and happy lives, but their tales are leavened with moments of terror, homesickness, awe, madcap antics, and derring-do. Although classed as children’s literature, The Wind in the Willows holds a gentle fascination for adults too. The vocabulary is decidedly not “Dick and Jane”, and a reader with a love of words will find new ones to treasure, with Grahame’s delightful ability to spin a tale. Parents will appreciate the themes of loyalty, manners, self-restraint, and comradeship which are evident throughout the book. When the characters err, they are prompt to acknowledge it, and so a reading of this book can model good behavior to children, who will otherwise be enchanted with the many ways in which the lives of these bucolic characters differ from modern life. A classic volume that has endured the test of time!

The Great Big Treasury of Beatrix Potter contains  nineteen tales featuring a troop of Miss Potter’s most unforgettable characters. Peter Rabbit, the mischievous and rebellious young fellow, is the hero of many a tale, along with his more well-mannered sisters Flopsy, Mopsy and Cotton-tail. Their long-suffering mother strives to keep Peter out of mischief and out of Mr. McGregor’s tempting garden filled with luscious fruits and vegetables. The stories sparkle with Beatrix Potter’s endearing ability to tell a tale, holding your attention with her whimsical way of speech, and quaint Victorian style stories. Other memorable characters include Squirrel Nutkin, who is a most impertinent fellow, Peter Rabbit’s cousin Benjamin Bunny, two bad mice, Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle and Tailor Simpkin, a frog called Mr. Jeremy Fisher, and many more. The stories are a mixture of moral fables, fascinating descriptions of nature, and Victorian childhood naughtiness. Our children always love the stories by Beatrix Potter, fun to see another generation of children loving her works!
