Wind in the Willows - read by Sir Derek Jacobi | Audio Book
The Wind in the Willows is one of the best-loved children's books of all time.
In this audiobook, Kenneth Grahame's enchanting tales are read by the Emmy Award winning actor Sir Derek Jacobi.
Set in early twentieth-century Britain, the animal characters are Ratty, Mole, Badger and Toad of Toad Hall.
They are friends and neighbours who live on a riverbank in the English countryside.
Although they talk and behave like humans, each creature retains its distinctive animal habits and personality.
Kenneth Grahame published The Wind in the Willows in 1908 as a series of bedtime stories for his son.
These timeless animal tales have delighted readers of all ages ever since.
When Mole goes boating with the Ratty instead of spring-cleaning, he discovers a new world.
As well as the river and the Wild Wood, there is Toad's craze for fast travel and motor-cars that leads them all on a timeless adventure.
Narrator Derek Jacobi really brings the characters to life, especially the wonderful Toad of Toad Hall.
