This beloved classic of literature has touched the hearts of young readers for over three generations. First published in 1908, this book began as a series of bedtime stories written especially for the author’s son. Four friends—Toad, Mole, Rat, and Badger—are always having exciting adventures. While each has their own distinctive personality—Mole is cautious, Rat is sweet, Toad is a braggart, and Badger can’t stand society—their friendship is only enhanced by their differences.
