Kenneth GrahameThe Wind in the Willows (April 23, 2007)

Would you like to try our new video/audio player ? (beta!)

LibriVox's Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame read by Adrian Praetzellis.

The classic story of how Rat, Mole, and the other river-bankers saved Toad from his excesses. This book has it all: excitement, sentiment, destruction of private property (plenty of that), paganism, and a happy ending. The prose is beautiful and occasionally requires the use of a dictionary - I had to look up “asperities.” Written as a children’s story, The Wind in the Willows is enjoyed by many grown-ups who relish Grahame’s ability to evoke the long summer days of childhood. (Description by Adrian Praetzellis)

Subject: A very nice recording
Mr. Toad, Ratty, Mr. Badger, and Mole are among the many creatures and characters who inhabit Grahame's version of Victorian era England. He weaves their riverbank life and many adventures in magical yet universally appealing style. A great literary classic who will appeal to children and adults alike.
A remarkable recording indeed! Many thanks to Adrian Praetzellis. Highly recommended.
