### In the lessons

In The Wind in the Willows, the Rat looks at Mole's little home with its plaster statues of «Garibaldi, and the infant Samuel, and Queen Victoria» – popular ornaments in Victorian and Edwardian homes. In history lessons, Garibaldi and his «Redshirts» helped make Italy one country. The biscuit was named after him.
