The Golden Age by Kenneth Grahame

<p>The Golden Age was published in 1895, by a British writer Kenneth Grahame.</p> <p>What's interesting about The Golden Age is that in this book, Grahame uses the metaphor of Ancient Greek legends and stories as parallels to his own life.</p> <p>The adults are termed "The Olympians" appearing remote, inaccessible, and lofty to a child.</p> <p>Their activities are incomprehensible to the young mind while they had no interest in the doings of their wards.</p> <p>Grahame's humorous yet ironical tone lends a touch of fun to the adult world as seen through the eyes of a child.</p>
