The developers threaten the Wild Wood, and Badger is called back from his retirement cruise on the canal to deal with the situation. This time he is fighting alongside hid erstwhile foes, the ferrets and the stoats, to defeat the implacable bureaucrats and businessman. Ratty and Mole are with him, but there is the problem of Toad. Badger is bound by a court order to mentor his scatterbrained friend , but there is no place for such an impulsive character in Badger's carefully thought-out strategy. To remove him from the scene, Toad is sent off down the canal in Badger's narrow boat but, even with Toad out of the way, Badger's plans come to naught. All seems lost. However, Toad returns from his canal adventures bringing with him the critical solutions that save the day. The Wild wood is preserved. With wit and poignancy, Peter Durney has captured the essence of Kennneth Graham's immortal characters. At the same time he describes in detail life on the English canal system.
