Description:

The Wind in the Willows as you haven't seen it before -- in a remarkable illustrated edition. Deep beneath the roots of an ancient willow tree, in a snug little burrow, a restless Mole wipes the dust from his fur and takes his first daring steps into a world brimming with adventure. What begins as a simple escape from spring cleaning soon turns into a journey beyond his wildest dreams—a journey filled with the gentle ripples of a sunlit river, the mysteries of the Wild Wood, and the roaring engines of a new and dangerous obsession. With his steadfast friend, Rat—a poet at heart and a lover of all things that float—Mole learns the simple joys of "messing about in boats." Along the way, they encounter the wise and reclusive Badger, who prefers the quiet depths of his underground home, and the reckless yet charming Toad, whose insatiable thirst for excitement leads them all into trouble more times than they can count. From moonlit picnics on the riverbank to daring prison escapes, from weasels plotting in the shadows to the triumphant battle for Toad Hall, The Wind in the Willows is a story of loyalty, folly, and the unbreakable bonds of friendship. Set against the backdrop of a pastoral England both dreamlike and real, Kenneth Grahame’s beloved classic continues to enchant readers of all ages with its wit, warmth, and timeless sense of wonder. Step into this world where animals talk, rivers sing, and the road is always open to those willing to follow it. Duration - 6h 53m. Author - Kenneth Grahame. Narrator - Mark F. Smith.
