No, hardly any Grahame in WD either. There's traces of it being post-Tolkien (in the rabbit mythologies) and possibly also Alan Gardner, but it reads to me primarily like the work of someone who has read and absorbed at a very deep level Virgil and Homer and box of natural history books.

There's a bit of WD in Redwall, though, and in practically every other talking animal fantasy since (including Tad Williams' oddity).
