This review is from: Mr. Toad (Wind in the Willows) (Hardcover)
Michael Plessix has formed a set of oversized graphic comic novels based on the classic The Wind in The Willows. Kenneth Grahame's book has been illustrated by many talented artists, but this is the first comic treatment. HJe has done a fine job, they are respectful to the original story and characters. The pacing of the story, which is spread over this book and two more, is well done. The dialogue works, and the art is heavily detailed and true to the spirit of the author. I recommend.

This review is from: Mr. Toad (Wind in the Willows) (Hardcover)
Although this story has been in print for many years, and the video commonly available, this fresh insight on a story of a group of friends who try to save one of their own from his own weaknesses is truely charming. This graphic novel reads like a screenplay with interesting angles and perspective on the characters, scenery, and actions. The delicate color palette used to evoke the seasons in the wood, the rich colors of the mansions and halls, and the mood of the scenes adds to the visual enrichment. Although this is not a word-for-word renditon of the original story it reads with a "feel of the essence of the book".
