Mole was happy with his life until one day, in the middle of spring cleaning, he emerges from his hole at Mole End and starts meandering the English countryside. Everything is new for the simple but stalwart mole. Never before had he seen a river, taken a boat ride, or encountered the woods.
But this is nothing compared to what awaits him when he gets tangled up in the escapades of the indomitable Mr. Toad, the society-hating Badger of Wild Wood, and the easy-going Water Rat! Motorcars, gypsies, jailbreaks, and a weasel rebellion are all in store for these intrepid animals. Beyond mischievous life adventures, the story conveys the typical turn of twentieth-century life in Britain and the struggle between the noisy, common way of life and the genteel.

Kenneth Grahame, född 8 mars 1859 i Edinburgh, Skottland, död 6 juli 1932 i Pangbourne, Berkshire, var en brittisk författare, mest känd för den världsberömda barnboksklassikern Det susar i säven (The Wind in the Willows) från 1908, med klassiska illustrationer av Arthur Rackham.
Grahame arbetade först som banktjänsteman i många år innan han började ägna sig på heltid åt skrivandet. Han slog sig ner vid den lilla staden Pangbourne vid Themsens strand. Omgivningarna gav honom inspiration till det liv och de äventyr som den osäkre men nyfikne Mullvaden, den rättrådige Råttan, den barske Grävlingen och den skrytsamme Paddan får uppleva i boken.
Grahame skrev också barndomsskildringar för vuxna, The Golden Age (1894) och Dream Days (1899), som blev mycket uppskattade.
