The Wind in the Willows, The River Bank

61 min

Mole abandons the spring cleaning, meets the Water Rat, and learns the river's unhurried way, the first chapter, told slow.

Retold for sleep from The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame, first published in 1908 and long out of copyright. The story is Grahame's; every sentence here is our own.
