The Riverbank

A brief, simplified retelling of the episode in The Wind in the Willows during which Mole meets Rat, who takes him for a row down the river for a picnic and introduces him to many other animals there. Mole, Water Rat, Badger, and of course, Toad of Toad Hall: these characters have captivated children ever since the early 20th century, when Kenneth Grahame wrote his gentle and humorous tale. Kids will still feel the magic today, as they happily make the acquaintance of Mole, who is seeing a river for the first time ever, and his new friend Ratty.
