Synopsis

A long time ago in merry old England--in a cottage halfway between a little village and the Downs--lived a shepherd with his wife and son. Now the shepherd spent his days along theDowns tending to his sheep, and he would often take his little son along to help him. but instead of tending the flock, the boy would often be found with his nose buried deep in a book.

About this title

About the Author:

Kenneth Grahame (1859-1932), Scottish-born author, was raised by his grandmother in Berkshire, England, along the banks of the Thames River. He was educated at Oxford and then worked for the Bank of England. As a pastime, he wrote light nonfiction and articles for newspapers. The Wind in the Willows, originally written as letters to his son, established him as a writer of children's books and had a deep influence on fantasy literature.

From AudioFile:

This dramatization of Grahame's story has wonderfully expressive characterizations to tickle young imaginations. There's a full gamut of sound effects and music reminiscent of phonograph records of the '50's. A young boy plays the hero, an innocent voice wiser than the eccentric adults around him. The dragon speaks his pacifist message in slow cartoon-like cadences while St. George delivers his role in a stalwart voice. The male narrator is warm and expressive as host of this appealing program. D.W. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
