Somehow, he has to escape and get home but what will he find when he gets there? The Wind in the Willows is a book for those who keep the spirit of youth alive in them; of life, sunshine, running water, woodlands, dusty roads, winter firesides.
He\'s already wrecked seven While his friends try to keep him out of trouble, his passion for cars eventually results in his being caught and kept prisoner in the remotest dungeon of the best-guarded castle in all the land.

Friendly Rat, mild-mannered Mole, wise Badger, and kind--but conceited--Toad all live on the banks of the Thames.
