This essay by Roger Schlobin looks at elements of danger and compulsion in Wind in the Willows

And one for those who think that Disney created Toad (and Peter Pan, and Winnie the Pooh, and Alice and ...)
Actually, Disney's animated movie was an abridged version of the story, focussing on Toad's car episode as an action cartoon; it was originally paired with "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" and released as "The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr Toad". Much more accurate versions on film include the delightful 1995 British animated version and Terry Jones Python-esque live action adaptation (1997).

And lastly, why not do a bit of searching. The ubiquitous Google or Alta Vista build good results from your search. Try "Kenneth Grahame" as a name, as well as descriptors such as children's literature, author/s, or history in various combinations along with "Wind in the Willows", Toad and so on.
