The adventures of Portly the otter : untold tales from the Wind in the Willows

Leonard, M. G. (Maya Gabrielle)2026
Books, Manuscripts
There is a time in a young otter's life when they must be introduced to their river. For Portly, today was that day. Told across four seasons in one year, little Portly has the greatest of adventures. Among other fur-raising encounters, the youngest of Mrs Otter's pups learns to swim, battles a large trout, rescues a human girl, outwits the weasels and stoats of the Wild Wood and sleeps between the cloven feet of the god Pan - a scene familiar to readers of the original book. Full of all the charm, nostalgia and sounds of splashing in the river that fans of 'The Wind in the Willows' have fallen in love with over the years, M.G. Leonard's faithful spin-off will enchant an entirely new generation. It is illustrated by Polly Dunbar, and celebrates the 95th anniversary of E.H. Shepard's iconic artwork for 'The Wind in the Willows'.
