The Golden Age is a delightful collection of eighteen short stories situated in the world of children. The book received enormous praise when published for its realistic portrayal of children, who call adults the “Olympians.” Grahame’s children in the stories have grand adventures and struggle against the stiff and unyielding world of the Olympians who, with rare exception, have lost their capacity for fun and wonder.
