The King's Singers The Wind in the Willows 1983 torrent

The Wind in the Willows and The Reluctant Dragon is performed by The King's Singers. It is based on the stories by Kenneth Grahame. The words are by David Grant and the music by John Rutter. The King's Singers play various parts with Richard Baker as the narrator. While meant for the young both are delightful Christmas stories for all.

This album is no longer available for purchase or download though it may be found on Amazon and eBay.

This album was released only in the UK and it took me several months in the mid 1980's to get it.
