<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>A whimsical story in verse for adults about a depressed amphibian playboy.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><em>Between Tads and Toads</em> is an illustrated story in verse for adults about pretty frog Frederic who struggles to fit in with the pondling society of toads, frogs and tads. Set by a pond in the idyllic British countryside where everything rhymes, life is an endless parade of picnics, swimming races and all things nice, except for Frederic.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Author Christine May has captured the look, feel, and soul of true classic works with this excellent narrative tale, one which readers could get lost in again and again. It begins with the obvious Wind In The Willows atmosphere of animals in a cultured society, but then elements of P.G. Wodehouse, T.S. Eliot, and Rudyard Kipling begin to insert themselves into the gorgeous verses, serene idylls of the country world, and the construction of a moving and emotive plot around Frederic himself. One of the things which really impressed me about the work was the ease of rhyme and rhythm, with nothing feeling forced in order to bring the story about. The words flow just like the water, the breeze, and the characters do, making Between Tads and Toads a poignant and striking work that will certainly bridge the gap for those seeking modern classics to enjoy."</p><p>- Readers' Favorite</strong></p><p><br></p><p>"The story is charming, and so is the amphibian society depicted: toads in tailcoats and frogs in ascots eating ice cream on park benches, being measured for bespoke ensembles, and skiing. The pen-and-ink illustrations are a highlight, as whimsical and elegant as the characters they portray (...) Great for fans of Kenneth's Grahame's The Wind in the Willows and T.S. Eliot's Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats." </p><p>- Booklife by Publisher's Weekly </strong></p><br>
