The famous adventures of Toad of Toad Hall and his three riverside friends are dramatised by
Alan Bennett
These audio editions, especially dramatised for BBC Radio, are of timeless stories that have enchanted generations of readers both young and old. The wonder and excitement of these much-loved tales live on in these acclaimed full-cast dramatisations, complete with evocative music and sound effects.
The story of Ratty. Mole, Badger and Toad's escapades, from messing about on the river to poop-pooping in Toad's shiny new car. was vividly brought to life in Alan Bennett's stage adaptation at the National Theatre in 1990, which captured the imagination of a new generation, and introduced many to Kenneth Grahame's classic book for the first time.
This BBC Radio 4 full-cast recording features many of the members of the National Theatre production - among them Richard Briers, Leslie Phillips and Terence Rigby -and is narrated by Alan Bennett himself.
Combined with the enchanting music composed for the original Stage production, Kenneth Grahame's wonderful creations delight us once more in this idyllic portrait of waterside Britain.
