The Golden Age
by Kenneth Grahame from 1895
About
Grahame's The Golden Age (1895) — the predecessor to Dream Days — is a series of linked sketches about childhood, narrated by a boy looking back on the paradise of imaginative freedom that adults have forgotten. The 'Olympians' (adults) are distant, incomprehending figures; the children inhabit a parallel world of adventure and feeling. The book established Grahame as a prose stylist and directly paved the way for The Wind in the Willows.
