Enjoy

Hi Kids, here's Chapter 11 of The Wind in The Willows, where Toad finds his friends again and seeks to recapture Toad Hall from the Weasels and Stoats. Together, they hatch a cunning plan...

Hi Kids! Here's Chapter 10 of The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame, read as usual by me, Bill Allerton, with Nellie turning the pages! Do we think that Toad will EVER change? Listen on...

Hi Kids. Chapter 9 of the Wind in The Willows. I'm sorry if I have been a little erratic in loading some of these chapters but each one is recorded fresh, edited, and put out there for your enjoyment! This means that sometimes I'm not at my best. Some of these chapters have only been possible thanks to liberal doses of Lemsip and Halls Mentholyptus sweets. Hope I don't disappoint you too much,
Bill.

Hi Kids. This track is 'Cheval'. 'Cheval' is the old french word for 'Horse'. Used today it describes a tall, slender mirror that stands free on four feet. Sometimes those feet can be very ornately carved, like the proud horses in the story. The story may be a little beyond some of our listeners, but it's a story about how we begin as a child with an open mind to the magic in our imagination, then as we grow older and have more responsibility we begin to lose touch with it. But don't worry, as we get older still our imagination finds ways to reconnect us with the magic.
I hope you enjoy this one,
Bill
