"The Mole rested on his sculls and sighed a small, "O my!" It wasn't the tired sigh of someone relieved at last of a taxing chore; in fact, he had expended little energy on sculling, doing no more than dip the blades into the water now and then to keep the little blue and white boat bow-on as it flowed along with the river...."
It is 75 years since Kenneth Grahame's classic story Wind in the Willows was first published. Now, in this enchanting and timely sequel, we return to the gentle riverbank world of the early 1900s and meet again that lovable quartet - Toad, Badger, Ratty and Mole - in a new series of spirited adventures. With great skill and loving care, Dixon Scott has recreated the mood, setting and tone of the original. A Fresh Wind in the Willows is more than just a delightful book - it's like meeting old friends.
