Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Golden Age" by Kenneth Grahame is a collection of childhood reminiscences first published in 1895. The book captures a child's-eye view of a world divided between young and old, where adults are distant "Olympians" and children wage perpetual warfare against those who have forgotten what it means to be young. Drawing on Greek mythology and culture, Grahame's stories explore the imagination, adventures, and misunderstandings of childhood. Widely praised upon release, it became a classic that influenced later writers like J.M. Barrie.
