Wind in the Willows (Version 6), The by Kenneth Grahame (1859 - 1932) LibriVox The Wind in the Willows is a classic children's book--enjoyed by all ages!--by British novelist Kenneth Grahame, first published in 1908. Begun as letters to his 7-year-old son Alistair and later developed into a novel, it tells the adventures of animals Mole, Rat, and Toad, who dwell, along with Badger, Otter, and other animals, in the riverbank, fields, and woodlands of the English countryside. Best friends Mole and Rat, along with Badger, are continually rescuing Toad from his scrapes. An encounter with nature god Pan lends a special magic to this tale.In 2011, I recorded this delightful reading by my friend Sarbaga Falk. We made presents of the recordings for Sarbaga’s family and our friends and their children and grandchildren; and had it in mind to put it on LibriVox. Shortly after we recorded Wind in the Willows, Sarbaga was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s, which worsened until she passed away in February 2020.Sarbaga loved tales, jokes, and storie League of Wonder GLISTEN+ The greatest heroes of the fiction have assembled to save the world.

Desperate to find her, Kip teams up a rag-tag group of animal heroes that include the suave White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland, the brilliant and eccentric Toad from Wind and the Willows, the persnickety Cricket from Pinocchio and the Darling’s protective St. Bernard, Lulu, from Peter Pan. Together, they will uncover a plot that threatens London and the mysterious figure who is scheming to wreak vengeance on all of mankind.Starring Emmy Nominated Donovan Patton (Joe from Blue’s Clues) as Kip, Makgotso M (The Woman King) as Lulu, Emmy Nominated Eric Petersen (Kevin from Kevin Can F*** Himself) as Mr. Toad, Robbie Jarvis (Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix) and Bri The Rag Top Club - all about cabriolets and convertible cars The Ragtop Club The Ragtop Club is interested in all kinds of cabriolets and open cars.

Child's Book Of The Seasons by Arthur Ransome Loyal Books This book is part of the author’s "Nature Books For Children" series (three books), which is probably the best indication of its target audience and subject matter. The book is fun and charming, even for adults. Arthur Michell Ransome was an English author and journalist who had a reputation as one of the best English writers of children's books. “When we think of sowing seeds we think of Spring with the new corn green on the red ground, and when we think of Spring we think of Summer, when it is tall and wavy in the wind, and when we think of Summer we think of Autumn when the corn is golden and cut, and then, why, then we come to Winter again.” - Author's quote and david wales
