The Mole had been working very hard all the morning, spring-cleaning his little home.First with brooms, then with dusters; then on ladders and steps and chairs, with a brushand a pail of whitewash; till he had dust in his throat and eyes, and splashes ofwhitewash all over his black fur, and an aching back and weary arms. Spring wasmoving in the air above and in the earth below and around him, penetrating even hisdark and lowly little house with its spirit of divine discontent and longing. It was smallwonder, then, that he suddenly flung down his brush on the floor, said 'Bother!' and 'Oblow!' and also 'Hang spring-cleaning!' and bolted out of the house without even waitingto put on his coat. Something up above was calling him imperiously, and he made forthe steep little tunnel which answered in his case to the gravelled carriage-drive ownedby animals whose residences are nearer to the sun and air. So he scraped andscratched and scrabbled and scrooged and then he scrooged again and scrabbled andscratched and scraped, working busily with his little paws and muttering to himself, 'Upwe go! Up we go!' till at last, pop! his snout came out into the sunlight, and he foundhimself rolling in the warm grass of a great meadow.

Meet Rat, Mole, Badger, and Toad of Toad Hall in a brand new animal adventure telling of helping others and the trials of family and friends. It is a quiet day on the riverbank when Rat and Mole decide to go for a picnic. The wind in the willows is soft and lulls Rat to sleep, but Mole decides to go for a walk and comes across Badger, who is on his way to see Toad of Toad Hall. It turns out that Toad's insufferable cousin, Florence, has invited herself to stay. Toad suggests family and friends come together so that Mole, Rat and Badger can see just how awful she is. The day arrives and Florence turns out to be just as mean as she was painted. Horrified at Toad's predicament, the friends set about trying to come up with a plan to free him from the menace that is Florence. But this is a problem that has to be handled with utmost care, and for their animal adventure to succeed, the four may have to turn to that group of animals least concerned with helping others: the weasels.

The Wind in the Willows has its origins in the bedtime stories that Kenneth Grahame told to his son Alastair and then continued in letters (now held in the Bodleian Library) while he was on holiday. But the book developed into something much more sophisticated than this, as Peter Hunt shows. He identifies the colleagues and friends on whom Grahame is thought to have based the characters of Mole, Rat, Badger and Toad, and explores the literary genres of boating, caravanning and motoring books on which the author drew. He also recounts the extraordinary correspondence surrounding the book's first publication and the influence of two determined women - Elspeth Grahame and publisher's agent Constance Smedley - who helped turn the book into the classic for children we know and love today, when it was almost entirely intended for adults.Generously illustrated with original drawings, fan letters (including one from President Roosevelt) and archival material, this book explores the mysteries surrounding one of the most successful works of children's literature ever published.
