This title presents the tales of Ratty, Mole, Badger and Toad.

When Mole goes boating with the Water Rat instead of spring-cleaning, he discovers a new world.

As well as the river and the Wild Wood, there is Toad's craze for fast travel which leads him and his friends on a whirl of trains, barges, gipsy caravans and motor cars and even into battle.
