Winter in den Weiden.

Winter has come to the riverbank, and Mole, Ratty, Toad, and Badger must contend with the season's hardships together. William Horwood's authorized sequel to Kenneth Grahame's The Wind in the Willows continues the adventures of Grahame's beloved animal characters in the same gentle, pastoral style as the original.

As snow settles over the Wild Wood and the River, old friendships are tested, an old threat resurfaces, and the small community must pull together to see out the winter and protect the world they've built.

Written with full support from the Grahame estate, this is the first of Horwood's four Tales of the Willows books continuing the story beyond the original novel.
