The Adventure of Mr Toad A J Hides

Publisher Marketing: If you go down to the woods today you will discover an enchanting fantasy for kids that echoes one of the most beloved animal stories of all time, 'The Wind in the Willows'. 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. A charming fantasy for kids, 'The Adventures of Mr Toad' follows in the footsteps of other cherished animal stories, and is alight with humour, adventure and friendship.
