Dumbing down books can mean taking out their spirits as well

This is an excellent commentary on how our beloved classics are being turned vapid, with a focus on The Wind in the Willows. You can read the whole article if you are a subscriber, or click on a short ad to view the rest of it. It also has some interesting information on the nature of Toad as bipolar, based off of Kenneth Grahame's own son. You'll want to check it out; it's quite good.
