“Here today, up and off to somewhere else tomorrow! Travel, change, interest, excitement! The whole world before you, and a horizon that's always changing!”
After retiring from the Bank of England in 1908, Scottish writer Kenneth Grahame went on to create one of the best-loved children’s stories of all time. The banks of the Thames near his childhood home inspired the setting of The Wind in the Willows, and Mr. Toad has become a beloved character in children’s literature, first appearing in a bedtime story for Grahame’s son.
Tired of spring cleaning, Mole escapes his underground home and stumbles across a place he’s never been before – the river. Together with his new friend Ratty, they meet the brash Toad, the gruff but kindly Badger, and others. A daring prison escape, several crashed cars, and a battle to retake Toad Hall – the lighthearted adventures of Mole and his friends continue to delight children everywhere.
