Summary

Tonight, we’ll read another excerpt from “The Wind in the Willows” by Kenneth Grahame, published in 1908. This story centers around four small animals: Mole, Rat, Toad, and Badger. Their stories take place in the countryside of Edwardian England. If you’d like to start with the first episode, it aired on March 22, 2021. Grahame grew up on the River Thames. As secretary of the Bank of England, he told his son bedtime stories that evolved into this book after he took an early retirement. In the last episode, new friends Mole and Rat have a picnic on the river bank, and take an accidental plunge in the river afterwards. Later, they pay a visit to the estate of The Toad to see what he was up to. The Toad’s newest passion was for his fancy carriage he referred to as a gypsy caravan. The Toad hoped for company to join him on the open road and tries to convince his visitors to come along. — read by 'V' — Listen Ad-Free on Patreon See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
