柳林风声:THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS(英文原版)
肯尼思•格雷厄姆(Kenneth Grahame)英国童话作家。出生于爱丁堡一个传统的苏格兰家庭，父亲是律师，却有严重的酗酒恶习。母亲因猩红热病逝后，外公外婆将其接到乡间抚养长大。他小时候流连的田野风光，后来成为《柳林风声》中鼹鼠、河鼠、獾与癞蛤蟆先生结伴畅游的世界。虽然格雷厄姆的童年充满烦恼，但他创作的《柳林风声》的基调却是甜美的。或许格雷厄姆发现，唯有在这些林间动物的身上，生命里蛰伏的希望与爱才能萌芽。柳林间的风声，其实在每颗心上吹拂。《柳林风声》曾经引起当时美国总统罗斯福的注意，他曾写信告诉作者，他把《柳林风声》一口气读了3遍。
1895年格雷厄姆了出版童书《黄金时代》，此书的巨大成功奠定了他在儿童文学史上的地位。而1908年出版的《柳林风声》则为格雷厄姆获得了更高的赞誉，被誉为英国儿童文学黄金时代的压轴之作。《柳林风声》以英文原版出版，随书附赠配套英文朗读光盘，让读者在欣赏精彩故事的同时，亦能提升英语水平。
A sentimental British favorite, The Wind in the Willows is a far more interesting book than its popular and often juvenile audience might suggest. It became established as the evergreen children's classic it is known as today.
In 1908, Grahame retired from his position as secretary of the Bank of England. He moved back to Cookham, Berkshire, where he had been brought up and spent his time by the River Thames doing much as the animal characters in his book do. He wrote down the bedtime stories he had been telling his son Alistair.
In 1909, Theodore Roosevelt, then President of the United States, wrote to Grahame to tell him that he had “read it and reread it, and have come to accept the characters as old friends”. The novel was in its thirty-first printing when playwright A. A.

这本书读了一个多月，很久。这本书一共就四个主要人物，mole, water rat ,toad, badger. 塑造最好的是toad，他骄傲自大，多次犯法，最后听从朋友的意见，完全改变了自己，不再自满。
书里面很多环境描写，但是看起来比较吃力，就草草略过。
插图其实是有的，但是比较少，第一张插图好像出现在第一章结束后，所以一开始以为是无插图版本。插图比较小，最大只占据三分之二页面。
这次读英文小说依然吃力，特别是前期，有很多生词，也没有生词提示，只能手动点击查意思。读到后半部份会好一些，对话的部份的理解更到位一点，读得快一些。或许我读话剧会更轻松一些。
