Usually I am pretty skeptical of sequels not written by the original author, but from the very first sentence I completely forgot that it wasn't Kenneth Grahame himself writing this book! This is a PERFECT imitation of Grahame's writing! It just wraps you up all cozy like a warm familiar blanket, and sweeps you away to the magical world of the Willows.

The illustrations are delightful. Every character is perfectly as they should be. They pop right back to life! Each story line is interesting, funny, whimsical, and perfectly woven together. I can't even describe... my whole being just trembled with happiness while I was reading this book. It's like greeting dear old friends after a long absence, and finding that they are just the same, and our camaraderie is not lessened by the years. I want to read it again and again!
