0763622427 One of the true classics of English literature, here are the adve ntures of Mole, Water Rat, Badger, and Toad. Grahame's idyllic wo rld is as fresh now as when they first discovered his enchanting tales--of Ratty sculling his boat on the River, Badger grumpily e ntertaining his friends in his comfortable underground home, and the exasperating Toad being driven into one tangle after another by his obsession with motor cars. This edition is beautifully i llustrated throughout - a must-have book for every child.
