|title=Wild Wood
|author=Jan Needle and Willie Rushton
|rating=4.5
|genre=Literary Fiction
|summary=Bank clerk Kenneth Grahame’s 1908 classic ''Wind in the Willows'', populated with lovable anthropomorphic characters, started life as a bed time story for his son Alistair. He fused these adventurous tales with later descriptive epistles for a holidaying Alistair to create a tale which was, as Grahame described in a letter to Teddy Roosevelt, ''an expression of the very simplest joys of life as lived by the simplest beings''. Indeed the four iconic protagonists - the outrageous, irrepressible toad, the loyal and humble mole, the brave and paternalistic badger and the resourceful and determined rat have a fond place in many childhood memories but are they as valiant as they seem? What if they were suddenly recast as the villains of the piece?
