Description
'There's nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as messing about in boats.'
A spot of spring cleaning on a sunny English riverbank - so begins the adventures of four beloved friends. Follow Mole, Ratty, Toad and Badger on their journey through riverside picnics, wild woods, jailbreaks, car chases and cross-dressing amphibians to save Toad Hall from disaster and get little Mole home.
Will the foursome triumph? And will everybody learn their lessons? A delightful tale of camaraderie and joy. Poop poop!
A new adaptation of The Wind in the Willows, a classic children's novel notable for its mixture of mysticism, adventure, morality, and camaraderie and celebrated for its evocation of the nature of the River Banks.
