Edwardian cozy. Love those illustrations

I have fond memories of Edwardian England.
The point of reading a long story is they fall asleep in the middle of it.

Oh yeah.
WitW is a little to Edwardian for me now, but I fond recollections of their little cozy homes.
Rats of NIHM was fun kid stuff too

The only book I remember being read to me was this WInd in the Willows.

I liked the coziness of all their homes and the warm detailed pictures.
