这是英国童话作家格拉姆(Kenneth Grahame)的经典作品,和《小王子》、《维尼熊》一样都是西方小孩子们的床头的“宝贝书”。虽然它是看似“孩子书”的一部童话作品,但故事新颖奇趣、对白生动活泼,也算是英语学习的经典作品。
When the Mole escapes from the tedium of spring cleaning and embarks on a new life on the River Bank with his friend the Water Rat, he has little idea of the adventures ahead of him. And the greatest adventures of all are concerned with the vainglorious Toad, who is thrown into transports of delight and finally prison by his love of fast motor cars. It is a hard battle indeed for his friends to teach Mr Toad even a little sense.
Kenneth Grahame"s tale of rural life has enchanted generations of children and adults since it was first published in 1908.
