Wind in the Willows Listening Party
Chapter 10: The Further Adventures of Toad

Saturday, October 10th 10am-11am SLT
On the Riverbank, A Willowy Place, Caledon Tanglewood

Come as a character from Kenneth Grahame's novel,  The Wind in the Willows, and join us as we listen to, and discuss, a new chapter each month of the adventures of the shy but loyal Mole, the poetical Water Rat, the brave Otter, the gruff but kindly Mr. Badger, the vainglorious Toad, and all the other creatures of wood, stream, and field who populate this much-loved story

This month, we follow Toad, newly escaped from the clutches of The Law, as he travels by Barge, Horse, and, alas, Motorcar, and fails to endear himself to, well, to pretty much anybody.

He glanced back, and saw to his dismay that they were gaining on him. On he ran desperately, but kept looking back, and saw that they still gained steadily. He did his best, but he was a fat animal, and his legs were short, and still they gained. He could hear them close behind him now. Ceasing to heed where he was going, he struggled on blindly and wildly, looking back over his shoulder at the now triumphant enemy, when suddenly the earth failed under his feet, he grasped at the air, and, splash! he found himself head over ears in deep water, rapid water, water that bore him along with a force he could not contend with; and he knew that in his blind panic he had run straight into the river!

Big People may join us in Tinyville, or repose in comfort at the Oxbridge Library in Caledon Oxbridge
