The Wind in the Willows
by Kenneth Grahame
Read by Frederick Parslow
Kenneth Grahame's The Wind in the Willows was first published just ninety years ago. It has not only become a children's classic, but remains a firm favourite with adults. These are the adventures of the brave and poetic Ratty, vulnerable but loyal Mole, kind Mr Badger, and the engaging reprobate Toad of Toad Hall.
Frederick Parslow's 1980 reading of The Wind in the Willows has been one of the most popular in the 50-year history of the ABC Book Reading.
