I am thrilled to pick in the category of Childrens Lit, The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame.
It was published in 1908 and became popular after playwright A.A. Milne adapted part of it for the stage.

it focuses on four anthropomorphised animal characters (Mole, Ratty, Mr. Toad and Mr. Badger) in a pastoral version of England. The novel is notable for its mixture of mysticism, adventure, morality, and camaraderie.

I read this book when I was younger and loved it. I read it again when I took a Childrens Lit course in university and still loved it.
