Something Toad of Toad Hall would have favoured



At a country fair I saw this car (a Trojan), which looks like something Toad of Toad Hall would have favoured. The original illustrations for Wind In The Willows were by EH Shephard. The drawing for Toad Hall was supposed to be based on a mansion on the River Thames, but I think it is more likely to be a building in Chesham.

hey, this is exactly the car Mr Toad would have liked... :-)

It so made me smile. I hope you spot the washerwoman sometime too.

The Wind in the Willows is one of my favorite books.
