Kenneth Grahame’s wonderful works include Wind in the Willows. A favorite of my children when they were small, it remains among my favorites to this day. Many a night I have read Joseph and Mary to sleep reading the stories over and over. The characters are all animals of the fields and streams of rural England: the River Rat, Mole, Toad and the loathsome weasels and stouts of the Wildwood. Toad, the Master of Toad Hall, is constantly in difficulties of his own making. And the stogy, gruff Badger is always at hand to meet every challnge with good order and decisiveness. Toad He latches on to every modern fad and makes a mess of it. It is the task of his friends to save him from his own idiotic behaviour (sound familiar?). On our only trip to date to England we traveled out to Oxford to see the campus of the university with all its glorious history with an eye to finding Kenneth Grahame’s gravesite. It was in an overgrown churchyard (St. Cross’ Church) near the old wooden gate. Grahame’s son, Alaster, an Oxford student who died while a student, lies by his side.
