'A magical journey into the world of the Riverbank and the colourful characters who live there ... a rollicking adventure story that is bound to appeal to both young and old'.
The rural tranquillity of life on the river bank and its inhabitants - Mole, Ratty, Badger et al. - is shattered by the eccentric behaviour of Mr Toad of Toad Hall. Following an incident with a motor car, Toad is arrested by his arch enemies the weasels and sentenced to life in prison. But he escapes, and after a series of adventures returns to Toad Hall, to find it occupied by the weasels. An exciting conclusion is assured as his friends rally round in his hour of need.
