Summary

Since publication in 1908, The Wind in the Willows has established itself as one of the most popular children's books ever written. The animals Rat, Toad, Mole, Badger, and many more share their trials and tribulations as well as joys as they progress through the seasons of the year. The magical fantasy of their journeys starts on the river bank and goes to the heights of Toad Hall, a truly fine mansion of many secret passages. All children will delight and be taken away on the wings of imagination.

Read by David Thorn and a supporting cast.

Bizarre accents used in this narration

Listen to the whole of the sample before choosing to buy this. The narrator uses several voices. The narration is clear and suitable to the story, however, the voice he uses for the mole is American (why?) and the voice of the rat is working class. He has clearly misunderstood the point that the rat is well off and providing new experiences for the less well to do mole. These bizarre choices spoilt the story for me and I don't recommend it. If I'd listened to the whole of the sample I'd have found this out. Make sure you listen carefully before choosing to buy.
