The Wind in the Willows -
This classic adventure story, set in early twentieth-century Britain, features the lovable characters Rat, Toad, Mole, and Badger. The mole was happy with his life until one day, he emerges from his hole at Mole End and starts wondering the English countryside. Everything is new for the mole. He had never seen a river, rode in a boat or encountered the woods.
But this is nothing compared to what awaits him when he gets tangled up in the adventures of the stubborn Mr. Toad, the society-hating Badger of Wild Wood, and the easy-going Water Rat! Beyond the life adventures, the story displays the typical 20th century life in Britain and the struggle between the common way of life and the sophisticated people.
The Reluctant Dragon -
It is the tale of a boy and his dragon who lives up on the Downs. In spite of the bad reputation dragons have, the boy and he become quick friends. Saint George shows up to do battle with the reluctant dragon, and the boy arranges a mock battle, unknown to the villagers that please everyone.
