About this listen

 When the Water Rat invites the unassuming Mole to spend his first day ever in a boat on the river, and wise Badger comes along for the ride as well, so begins a marvellous season of adventure for the three friends. Mr Toad (he of Toad Hall) completes a happy foursome, but his tendency to get into hot water leads him into some rather hair-raising scrapes of his own.

From an idyllic riverside picnic to a snowy encounter in the Wild Wood, and from poop-pooping in Toad's shiny new motor car to battling the massed ranks of Stoats, Weasels, and Ferrets in a battle for Toad Hall, there's never a dull moment when they are all together!

In his own inimitable style, Alan Bennett gives voice to each and every character in Kenneth Grahame's beguiling novel.

Bennett voiced Mole in the 1995 animated film of TWitW and this reading of the novella is superb, giving real life and individuality to each of the characters, and delineating the narrative voice. My only cavil is the decision to leave out the chapter "The Piper At The Gates of Dawn". Can't be doing with abridgements.

Superb reading by Bennett
