Welcome to Raven's Readings. I'm reading from The Wind in the Willows, a children's novel written by the British writer, Kenneth Grahame. It's a collection, published in 1908, of bedside stories he had told his son, Alastair. These stories feature various animals, including Mole, Ratty, Badger, and their eccentric friend, Toad.

In Chapter 8, Toad finally escaped from jail, and seemed to have evaded his pursuers. He was lost in the woods, but had managed to find a hollow tree to sleep in, out of the rain. But he's still far from home. We skipped Chapter 9, which is another bit of interlude, and will carry on with our eccentric amphibian.
