This is the unique original Gouache painting by Peter Woolcock.

Based on the characters in the classic children's story Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame. Peter Woolcock illustrated many further adventures of Toad, Mole and Ratty suitable for nursery school children. Here we see a page where Toad, with the help of his friends has recovered his treasure, only to be entertained by some junior pirates while trying to relax.
