Having already established himself as one of the few modern masters of the animal story with his Duncton Woods series about moles, Horwood seems exactly the right person to take on the most famous mole in literature (and thus to lay claim to the dubious mantle of the century's leading author of mole fiction) .... Horwood's best stroke lies in realizing that the reformed Toad at the end of The Wind in the Willows wasn't really reformed at all
