This was my favorite book when I was a child but I haven’t read it since I was maybe 7 or 8 so I thought it would be fun to revisit it and see if I can rediscover what I loved about all those years ago.

I have to admit that I find it just as charming and comforting now as I did all those years ago. The English countryside manners, the river (I grew up on a river), and always loving animals, this is MY book.
