The famous adventures of Toad of Toad Hall and his three riverside friends are dramatised by Alan Bennett.

The Story of Ratty, Mole, Badger and Toad's escapades, from messing about on the river to poop-pooping in Toad's shiny new car, was vividly brought to life in Alan Bennett's stage adaptation at the National Theatre in 1990, which captured the imagination of a new generation, and introduced many to Kenneth Grahame's classic book for the first time.

This BBC Radio 4 full-cast recording features many of the members of the National Theatre production - among them Richard Briers, Leslie Phillips and Terence Rigby - and is narrated by Alan Bennett himself.
