Publisher's Synopsis
 
The Golden Age was published in 1895, by a British writer Kenneth Grahame.
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.
The adults are termed "The Olympians" appearing remote, inaccessible, and lofty to a child. Their activities are incomprehensible to the young mind while they had no interest in the doings of their wards. Grahame's humorous yet ironical tone lends a touch of fun to the adult world as seen through the eyes of a child.
