Competition Winner. Mr Toad's Wedding

In 2008 the Kenneth Grahame Society organised a competition to write a short story based on Wind in the Willows. Writers from around the world entered the competition.

'Mr Toad's Wedding' won first prize.

I am delighted to offer the story for a premium price of less than a cup of tea or coffee.

What would happen to the tranquil life of the river bank if it's most famous bachelor was to marry?

This story tells the story of how Mr Toad lost his heart to Natalia Natterjack and almost lost his friends into the bargain.

Toad's infatuation leads to disbelief and dismay in most of his friends, although not all. We meet his beloved Natalia and the redoubtable Mother-in-Law Natterjack.

With the arrival of the Toad he most admires, his cousin Tallyrand, Toad's joy knows no bounds.

I hope you enjoy it.

I've just seen a lovely picture that my father aged 87 painted of the characters in the story.
