Synopsis: This is the story of a group of anthomorphic animal friends, Rat, Badger, Mole and Toad.
Thoughts: I really liked this novel. I do remember this having more of a central plot which is not at all true. It’s a bit of a rambling work that is only connected by the characters but I still really enjoyed it. I especially liked when Pan made an appearance.

I thought the whole scene where Rat is practically hypnotized by the sailor rat to be rather weird. And I have to say, I was a little disappointed that Toad was not punished at all for all of his deviance. He just got off scott free. I don’t know how I feel about that since I thought he was a bit of an ass.

I guess that’s it for this one.
