All credit to #CosgroveHall and #ThamesTelevision who, in 1984, adapted the pagan fever dream #ThePiperAtTheGatesOfDawn as part of their brilliant stop motion #TheWindInTheWillows children’s TV series.
#PeterSallis (later Wallace in Wallace and Gromit) plays Rat and #RichardPearson plays Mole.

English psych having something of a theme of acid teacups and magic rabbitholes, #PinkFloyd’s debut album was named after the deeply trippy, mystical chapter in #TheWindInTheWillows where Mole and Rat encounter the god Pan. Lured in by his music, they worship him and he helps them find the otter child Portly who they have been searching for.
Too much for full alt text here but you can read/listen to the whole chapter at this link: https://etc.usf.edu/lit2go/105/the-wind-in-the-willows/1804/the-piper-at-the-gates-of-dawn/

Was thinking to re-read The Wind in the Willows in the Spring, but I'm starting it sooner to go along with The Comfort Book Club by Miranda Mills (do check her wonderful YouTube channel).

The songs in this are so good. The music was done by Keith Hopwood (from Herman’s Hermits) and the lyrics are by Malcolm Rowe

Full disclosure: I was looking for something else entirely when I stumbled across this stop motion version of “The Wind in the Willows” that I adored as child but hadn’t seen since then and I figured I couldn’t be alone in the sentiment so… yeah. #MusComEnt #TheWindInTheWillows
