While the characterisations by Derek Jacobi were excellent, the recording itself is very disappointing. It is actually a hugely abridged version. When it reaches its conclusion, it continues with sections from the Alan Bennet version, completely out of order. I advise that no-one buys this version. I will be seeking a refund.

Synopsis
When Mole goes boating with the Water Rat instead of spring-cleaning, he discovers a new world. As well as the river and the Wild Wood, there is Toad's craze for fast travel and motor-cars that leads them all on a timeless adventure.
