Unfortunately, he is not a particularly good storyteller. It feels as if he is manufacturing crises instead of allowing the events to unfold naturally. And he foreshadows events in an annoying way, at the end of chapters.
He does an okay job of phrasing at times, but the main characters are frequently given the title “Mr.” which Grahame rarely does.

Despite the awful cover, the interior illustrations are nice. Amy Thurber does not attempt to draw the characters. Most drawings are chapter headings
