“And it’s a happy ending because they’re together. “Faced with the prospect of being alone for a month or committing an act of deception, he deceives his best friend,” Barnett explains. Frog pleads, “But Toad, I will be lonely until then.” Instead of resigning himself to isolation, Frog sneaks back into Toad’s house, rips a handful of pages out of the calendar, wakes Toad back up, and tricks him into believing a month has passed. He tells Frog to return in a month and hops back to sleep. It is the first day of spring, and Frog is eager for a celebratory post-hibernation reunion. Though the book series by Arnold Lobel has filled young readers with a sense of warmth and closeness for five decades, Frog and Toad opens with disappointment and desperation.

I did find it hard going at times, particularly when I found myself reading several pages of exposition and back-story. What followed felt a bit like a combination of Dan Brown's "The Da Vinci Code" and Indiana Jones it felt a little confusing at times, and involved what seemed to be a freemasons-type secret society trying to get their hands on a stone Alice had found, bearing a labyrinth symbol. The book opened in 2005, with the discovery of two skeletons during an archaeological dig, by one of the main heroines, Alice Tanner. I couldn't remember a lot about it, or the lacklustre TV adaptation starring William Hurt. I read this book years ago, and decided that lockdown was a perfect time to read it again. |
