Grahame's poetic style draws on the enchanting landscapes of the English countryside, allowing readers to escape into a world where animals engage in human-like follies, all while inviting contemplation of deeper moral and philosophical questions. The novel is set against the backdrop of the Edwardian era, a time of rapid societal change, which makes its themes of nostalgia and the yearning for simpler pleasures all the more poignant.
