Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wind in the Willows The Mole had been working very hard all the morning, spring-cleaning his little home. First with brooms, then with dusters; then on ladders and steps and chairs, with a brush and a pail of whitewash; till he had dust in his throat and eyes, and splashes of whitewash all over his black fur, and an aching back and weary arms. Spring was moving in the air above and in the earth below and around him, penetrating even his dark and lowly little house with its spirit of divine discontent and longing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Children of Earth There was an infinity of music in the roaring that filled the night. The texture of sound was as complicated in its intimacies as it was terrifying in its vastness. It was both organ-like and organic. While the congregated sons of power sang each his note to the buffets of wind that tore at their sides, swept upon them, above them, and around them so each blade of bog-grass, each blade of swaying heather, each bulk of sodden moss, each stream that rushed to the valley, each pool of bog-water, each hummock had its individual voice. It was yet the voice of open spaces. There was a surge and sway, a vast impetus of freedom, in that music to declare that neither bush nor tree in that inky dark ness intercepted the course of the wind with an alien cry. The sound was all of movement. Nowhere did it rest in its movement. Freedom, distance, space and speed were the indissoluble constituents of that hymning of Earth, even when it was most complicated in its texture. Its very fury had a gesture of gauntness. Its very frenzy was severe and stern. Through a darkness that crushed the brain came the sense of wide space and unstaying speed.

Download or read book The Wind on the Moon written by Eric Linklater and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2011-09-07 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Carnegie Medal winner, this delightful fantasy will appeal to children who love Alice in Wonderland and The Wind in the Willows. Major Palfrey is leaving for the wars, and he tells his two girls, Dinah and Dorinda, to be good while he is gone. But the sisters aren’t sure they can be. As Dorinda explains, “When we think we are behaving well, some grown-up person says we are really quite bad. It’s difficult to tell which is which.” Sure enough, the sisters are soon up to their usual mischief. They convince a judge that minds must be changed as often as socks, stage an escape from the local zoo (thanks to a witch’s potion which turns them into kangaroos), and—in the company of a golden puma and silver falcon—set off to rescue their father from the wicked tyrant of Bombardy. Penned at the height of World War II, this tale of hilarity and great adventure is also a work of high seriousness; after all, “life without freedom,” as the valiant puma makes clear, “is a poor, poor thing.”

Young as he was, and city born, the lure of the wild had nevertheless already caught him, and the information that he thirsted for so insatiably was all about the furred or finned or feathered kindreds of the wild.
