Dream Days

About

The sequel to The Golden Age, Dream Days (1898) continues Grahame's extraordinarily sympathetic recreation of Victorian childhood through the eyes of children who inhabit a parallel imaginative world alongside the baffling adult world. The story 'The Reluctant Dragon' — a boy befriends a dragon who refuses to fight St. George — is one of the finest children's stories in English and was the direct precursor to The Wind in the Willows. As group reading, the first-person child narrator gives a single sustained voice.
