Official synopsis Publisher
First in The Willows in Winter and then in Toad Triumphant, William Horwood returned to the idyllic setting of The Wind in the Willows and successfully brought back Kenneth Grahame’s much-loved characters in two new bestselling tales. Now he brings to a triumphant conclusion one of the worlds’ most popular stories. It began, long ago, when Mole abandoned his spring-cleaning and first met Ratty, Badger, Otter, and, of course, the exasperating Toad. Now we find the loyal companions approaching the autumn of their lives, reflecting on their many escapades together, and preparing to hand over to the next generation. But when the future of the River Bank they know and love suddenly comes under threat, all the creatures, young and old, must rally together.
