William Horwood takes the listener to a new enchantment in this delightful sequel to 'The Wind in the Willows'.
'My friends', said the Badger, 'we are gathered here today to celebrate the memory of...of the Great and Noble Mole...'
The more Badger intoned on the sadness of passing, and the bleak comfort of memory, and the darker and more snowy it got, the sadder and more mournful the group became.
But would this ghastly, sombre moment ever have been reached, were it not for Toad, that terrible, shocking, insufferable Toad of Toad Hall, taking to the air in wild and wilful adventure that sweeps him from the River Bank into the Wild World, there to plummet to his own particular doom.
And can all of Kenneth Grahame's beloved animals come through in 'The Willows in Winter' to home and hearth again...? To hear once more the soft splash of oars in the water as Ratty ventures his boat out on to the River in the sun of Springtime...
'I am a Toad extraordinaire, a magnificent Toad! None is my equal. What creature, has ever showed such capacity, such brilliance, as I have today?!'
