An adult (not *that* kind) adaption of a children's fairy tale originally written by Kenneth Grahame and published in 1908. The studio album didn't credit all participants -- probably due to reasons having to do with contracts & royalties. There is also a later live recording from 1991. Two unissued tracks recorded during the studio sessions later appeared on the remastered live release.
