  • "This 1895 collection makes use of imagery from Greek mythology to paint the adult world as one of aloof Olympians out of touch with the inner, imaginative lives of their own children. Each story deals with the struggle between children and adults. Contents include A White-Washed Uncle, The Finding of the Princess, The Argonauts, and The Secret Drawer."
  • "The Golden Age is a collection of reminiscences by Kenneth Grahame, the Scottish author of Wind in the Willows. Grahame's novel, widely successful upon publication, uses Greek mythology to explore the relationship between childhood and adulthood. In this title, children are described as being constantly engaged in a struggle with adults who have entirely forgotten what it means to be young. Although the book was originally published without illustrations, a later edition was published in both Britain and America with 19 illustrations and 12 tailpieces by Maxfield Parrish. While the illustrations are in black and white, they portray Parrish's trademark style with voluminous clouds, soft natural elements and photorealist figures."@en

  • "A collection of reminiscences of childhood. The adventures of five brothers and sisters growing up in rural England in the late nineteenth century. Typical of his culture and his era, Grahame casts his reminiscences in imagery and metaphor rooted in the culture of Ancient Greece; to the children whose impressions are recorded in the book, the adults in their lives are "Olympians," while the chapter titled "The Argonauts" refers to Perseus, Apollo, Psyche, and similar figures of Greek mythology. Grahame's reminiscences, in The Golden Age and in the later Dream Days (1898), were notable for their conception "of a world where children are locked in perpetual warfare with the adult 'Olympians' who have wholly forgotten how it feels to be young.""@en
