Rat, Mole, Badger and the preposterous Mr Toad (with his ‘Poop-poop-poop’ road-hogging new motor-car), have brought delight to many through the years with their odd adventures on and by the river, and at the imposing residence of Toad Hall. Grahame's book was later dramatized by A. A. Milne, and became a perennial Christmas favourite, as Toad of Toad Hall. These Collectors Edition compact hardbacks are ‘cloth-bound’ with matching coloured end papers and embossed gold lettering.
