The Wind in the Willows
Spring is moving in the air above and Mole can no longer resist its song. Leaving his quiet home behind, he discovers a magnificent new world along the riverbank. Here he befriends loyal, steadfast Rat, wise Badger and good-natured yet impulsive Toad.
Together under the glistening sun, they enjoy all that the countryside has to offer. Boating on the river, picnics in the afternoon and even a caravan trip on the open road. But trouble starts to brew when Toad falls under the spell of a dangerous motorcar obsession. And as his friends try to save him, even darker problems creep from the shadowy Wild Wood and the unknowable Wide World beyond...
