One spring day, Mole decides that he has had enough of the tiresome
spring-cleaning. He throws down his broom and hurries out of his
underground home into the sunny world outside looking for adventures and
new friends. He quickly finds both in the form of the Water Rat, who
takes him boating and introduces him to life on the river and in the
Wild Wood. Mole soon befriends the very kind Badger and the preposterous
