DVD:

Mole, Water Rat, Badger and Mr. Toad pursue merry adventures in a charming adaptation of Kenneth Grahame's magical tale of animals who behave like Edwardian gentlemen in a world gone slightly mad. Matt Lucas (Casanova) stars as the exuberant Mr. Toad with Bob Hoskins (Mrs. Henderson Presents) as Badger, Mark Gatiss as Rat and Lee Ingleby as Mole. Anna Maxwell Martin (Bleak House) and Imelda Staunton (My Family and Other Animals) also star.

Book:

When Kenneth Grahame first entertained his son with letters about a petulant character named Toad, he had no way of knowing that his creation -- together with his friends Mole, Rat, and Badger -- would delight children for nearly 100 years. Here they are once more, pursuing adventure in gypsy caravans, stolen sportscars, and prison, but always returning to their beloved Wildwood. And although Grahame’s characters are unmistakably animals, they remain endearingly human in their eccentricity, folly, and friendship.

- First time in Penguin Classics - Includes an introduction and notes by the children's literature historian Gillian Avery - Features an appendix of Grahame's original letters to his son about the adventures of Toad
