The River Bank and The Wild Wood
The Wind in the Willows is a collection of stories about five animal characters: Ratty, Mole, Badger, Otter and Toad. Set in the English countryside, the stories are adventures where friendship, loyalty, and the joy of simple pleasures win the day. In The River Bank, Mole meets Ratty for the first time. Ratty invites Mole for a picnic on the river. All is going very well until Mole (who can’t swim!) falls in the river. In The Wild Wood Ratty goes to look for Mole who is scared and lost in the dark snowy wood. He finds him and together, watched by scary eyes, they search for the home of Badger and safety.
