About this listen
Experience the classic tale of The Wind in the Willows as you’ve never heard it before.
Meet Lady Toad, Mistress Badger, Miss Water Rat and Mrs Mole as they go about their adventures, messing around on the river, gallivanting in Lady Toad’s shiny new toy and fighting valiantly to save Toad Hall from unruly squatters.
In this retelling by Dina Gregory, The Wind in the Willows becomes a story about a group of female animals to be admired for their close sisterhood and fierce independence. Featuring original music and songs by Rosabella Gregory and sound effects captured on location, put your headphones on, sit back and lose yourself in the British countryside.

Really good spin on an old tale
I really loved this take on Wind in the Willows. The remake with an all-female cast made it really fun to listen to. This is the first time I’ve ever been able to make it all the way through the story. I really can’t stand Toad (the character, not the actor) so her parts were hard to listen too, but somehow still more tolerable in this version.

Delightful
This is a lovely and entertaining story - sweet and funny and well performed. Not just for children.

Bland, Unnecessary Update to a Classic
While I appreciate and support our society’s agonizingly slow crawl towards respect and tolerance, and I realize full well there will be some missteps and failed experiments along the way, I fail to see the point of taking this early 20th century classic of children’s literature and changing all the gender roles from male to female. (I’m willing to admit that I may not be the target audience, so if this particular treatment makes the book more accessible to a audience who might otherwise find little relatable in a text with a paucity of female characters, perhaps it’s a worthwhile endeavour.) More to the point: I’m afraid the voice narration simply wasn’t that interesting. If you know the original text well, you will likely find this version jarring. Far better narrations of the original text already exist.
