dulce domum

A bit of a holiday tradition I like to read "Dulce Domum", a chapter from Wind in the Willows.

This book was given to me as a birthday gift in 1959 and has been with me ever since. It did in recent years have an accidental dose of water in a corner away from my possession. But it remains readable and much loved. Dulce Domum, or Home Sweet Home is the story of Ratty and Mole returning from a day away and coming home along a path that takes them by Mole's old home underground. A sweet story with caroling field mice. I think that my love of this book and it's characters may explain my relationship with rats and mice, a good one.
