An Apple Books Classics edition.

Visit the Wild Wood along the pastoral banks of the Thames, where quiet Mole and fun-loving Water Rat seek out their friends Badger and Toad for adventures. When Toad’s reckless driving gets him into big trouble, he must rely on his friends to help him out—and as the season turns, the friends must band together against a crew of ferocious stoats, ferrets, and weasels who are threatening to steal Toad Hall.

See why Kenneth Grahame’s charming tale of friendship and home has captured the hearts of children—and adults—everywhere since its publication in 1908.

    Not my typical read but this story was a pleasant literature surprise. The author does a wonderful job of painting the story alive with exquisite descriptions. I loved learning about Ratty, Mole, Badger, and Toad. I do feel like about 3/4 of the way through, that some parts were a bit hard to understand because of the way they were written like excessive use of descriptive words, etc. but overall I enjoyed reading this and am glad I finished this classic. Also was thrilled to learn there is a movie of it that you can watch for free on YouTube!

    Story about 4 friends who are very loyal to each other despite the trouble that one of them stays in. Toad, River Rat, Mole and Badger have many adventures, and adults will find this book very entertaining

    What a wonderful, endearing series of stories that make a reader fall in love with words…and a Rat, Mole, Toad, Badger and Otter alike. The adventures are great. The humor is raucous. And, the storytelling is divine. My only regret is that there in only one novel to enjoy.

    When my heart and mind need quieting, when the ills of this world are almost too, too much, when I need to retreat to a quiet place and think about something else, there is nothing as helpful in that regard as a classic tale of about wise and kind animals.
  • A lovely book!

    An exciting tale- amazing, captivating! And moments of beautiful description- Mr. Grahame writes eloquently, putting feelings to words with ease. I would definitely recommend it to middle schoolers and up- grownups too! It tells of emotional and physical conflict and a worthy read.
