I had not read this classic as a child, so now I am trying to catch up. I really enjoyed reading about the relationships and adventures of Mole, Ratty, Badger, and Mr. Toad. Some of the stories reminded me of the Redwall series, although not quite as adventurous. There were a few altercations between "good" animals and "bad"; and, as in Redwall, the weasels are on the side of the "bad"; but, like the Winnie-the-Pooh stories, there were also humorous and homely situations, as well as stories of lasting friendships. I especially liked reading the descriptions of each animal's home and the trips along the river. Mr. Toad is not to be believed, with his shananigans and wild ideas! I truly recommend this book to adults and children, alike.
