For Children of All Ages
'The Wind in the Willows' by Kenneth Grahame
[Picture caption] An illustration by Ernest H. Shepard from 'The Wind in the Willows' (Methuen)
Arranged for broadcasting in eight instalments by May Jenkin
1 - 'The River Bank'
Production by Josephine Plummer
'The Mole had been working very hard all the morning, spring-cleaning his little home - till he had dust in his throat and eyes, and splashes of whitewash all over his black fur, and an aching back and weary arms. Spring was moving in the air above and in the earth below and around him, penetrating even his dark and lowly little house with its spirit of divine discontent and longing. It was small wonder, then, that he suddenly flung down his brush on the floor, said: "Bother. O blow! Hang spring-cleaning! and bolted out of the house without even waiting to put on his coat.'
Geoffrey Dearmer writes on page 21
