Golden Age

The Golden Age is a collection of childhood reminiscences by Kenneth Grahame, published in 1895. The book features stories that reflect the author's nostalgic view of youth, casting adults as 'Olympians' and drawing on imagery from Ancient Greece. It is notable for its exploration of the conflict between childhood innocence and adult indifference, a theme that influenced later writers like J. M. Barrie. Initially praised for its literary merit, it remains a classic in children's literature.
