Insights
This edition contains an introduction by AA Milne, who adapted it into the stage production ‘Toad of Toad Hall’ in 1929. He says ‘The book is a test of character. We can’t criticise it, because it is criticising us. It is a Household book; a book which everybody in the household loves, and quotes continually; a book which is read aloud to every new guest.’
