When the Mole leaves his spring-cleaning and heads up into the open air, he embarks on a series of exhilarating adventures with his new friends: the laid-back Ratty, the gruff yet kindly Badger and the self-satisfied, irrepressible Mr. Toad. Kenneth Grahame’s wonderful imagination and quiet humor continue to charm children and adults alike. This edition brings together an abridged text for younger readers with stunning illustrations.
