About this listen

In Wind in the Willows, a collection of enchanting sketches from 1899, the author shares the myriad ways the sea has communicated with him throughout his lifelong journey. With a deft hand, he captures the mesmerizing tales of whales, sharks, and other deep-sea creatures, inviting shore-dwellers to experience the oceans wonders. These vivid Idylls, as he calls them, are some of the most striking depictions of the sea ever penned. Only a true sailor, who has navigated its vastness and mysteries, can truly appreciate its charms. Bullens writing, rich in scientific insight yet imbued with a sense of magic and fate, transports readers directly into the heart of the seas enchantment. His adventurous life, filled with remarkable escapades at sea and on land, serves as the backdrop for these compelling stories. (Summary by David Wales)
