About this book
The Golden Age is a collection of reminiscent sketches about childhood, depicting the imaginative world of children as set against the uncomprehending adults they call the "Olympians." It suits readers interested in classic English writing about early life and the perspective of children.
Kenneth Grahame
Kenneth Grahame was a Scottish writer. He is best remembered for the classic of children's literature The Wind in the Willows (1908). Born in Scotland, he spent most of his childhood with his grandmother in England, following the death of his mother and his father's inability to look after the children. After attending St Edward's School in Oxford, his ambition to attend university was thwarted and he joined the Bank of England, where he had a successful career. Before writing The Wind in the Willows, he published three other books: Pagan Papers (1893), The Golden Age (1895), and Dream Days (1898).
