I absolutely adore this story,Loved Richard Briers reading of it,it is both sad and Happy,from the start reading the Wind in the Willows to the end with willows and beyond,from the characters I grew grew up with in the 1980's to passing the love to the next generation.I will be honest,I shed A tear or two listening to it.
