Explore again the unforgettable world of Toad Hall,the Wild Wood,the River Bank and the irrepressible Mr Toad.In 'The Willows in Winter',his best-selling sequel to Kenneth Grahame's classic 'The Wind in the Willows',William Horwood successfully brought to life once more some of the best-loved characters in British literature. Now in this new tale the comfortable bachelor world of the River Bank is thrown into turmoil by the arrival of a formidable female character,who seems to win Toad's heart. Recognising the familiar danger signals,his long-suffering companions Mole, Ratty and Badger must do all they can to save the infatuated Toad from himself. Enriched once again by the delightful illustrations of Patrick Benson,'Toad Triumphant' is another captivating story,in which Toad's capacity for finding trouble and for miraculous escapes is tested as never before. Patrick Benson's award-winning work includes illustrations for William Mayne's 'Hob Stories',for which he won the Mother Goose Award,Roald Dahl's final book,'The Minpins' (see rja26467), and the two J.R. Hartley 'Fly Fishing books (see rja26597 + rja26607).His illustrations for 'The Willows in Winter'(see rja1132),'The Willows at Christmas' (see rja27357) and his new edition of 'The Wind in the Willows' received outstanding praise.
