Illustrated by
Michael Hague.
While Mole and Rat are traveling one wintry evening, Mole discovers his old home, and as they settle in for the night, a troupe of young field mice entertain them with carols. This chapter from Grahame's classic novel works well as a stand-alone story, and Hague's artwork captures both the setting and the personalities of the enterprising Rat and the sensitive Mole.
