Catalogue synopsis

Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:

"The Golden Age" by Kenneth Grahame is a collection of reminiscences first published in 1895. Through a child's eyes, adults become distant "Olympians" who have forgotten what it means to be young. Grahame captures the perpetual warfare between children and the grown-up world, weaving classical mythology into everyday childhood adventures. Widely praised upon release, this pioneering work explores themes of youth and imagination that would influence later authors like J.M. Barrie, establishing itself as a classic of its genre.
