The Golden Age
The Golden Age (1895) is a collection of stories by Kenneth Grahame. Although less popular than The Wind in the Willows (1908), which would go on to become not only a defining work of Edwardian English literature, but one of the most popular works of children's fiction in the world, The Golden Age is a moving portrait of youth, an understated autobiographical meditation made for children and adults alike.Recalling his youth among elders who exemplified Victorian values of stoicism and quiet decency, Kenneth Grahame refers to these hallowed figures as the Olympians whose presence provided both order and necessary balance to his rambunctious, i…

Über den Autor
Kenneth Grahame (1859-1932) was a Scottish author of children's literature. Following the death of his mother at a young age, Grahame was sent to live with his grandmother in Berkshire, England, in a home near the River Thames. Unable to study at Oxford due to financial reasons, Grahame embarked on a career with the Bank of England, eventually retiring to devote himself to writing. An early exposure to nature and wildlife formed a lasting impression on Grahame, who would return to the Thames Valley of his youth throughout his literary career-most notably in his novel The Wind in the Willows (1908), which is considered his finest achievement and a masterpiece of children's fiction.
