{"product_id":"the-golden-age-kenneth-grahame-9781981138692","title":"The Golden Age: Original and Unabridged","description":"\u003cb\u003eThe Golden Age\u003c\/b\u003e is a collection of reminiscences of childhood, written by \u003ci\u003eKenneth Grahame\u003c\/i\u003e and first published in book form in 1895. Widely praised upon its first appearance - Algernon Charles Swinburne, writing in the Daily Chronicle, called it \"one of the few books which are well-nigh too praiseworthy for praise\" - the book has come to be regarded as a classic in its genre.Typical of his culture and his era, Grahame casts his reminiscences in imagery and metaphor rooted in the culture of Ancient Greece; to the children whose impressions are recorded in the book, the adults in their lives are \"Olympians\", while the chapter titled \"The Argonauts\" refers to Perseus, Apollo, Psyche, and similar figures of Greek mythology. Grahame's reminiscences, in The Golden Age and in the later Dream Days (1898), were notable for their conception \"of a world where children are locked in perpetual warfare with the adult 'Olympians' who have wholly forgotten how it feels to be young\" - a theme later explored by \u003cb\u003eJ.M. Barrie\u003c\/b\u003e and other authors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kenneth Grahame\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1981138692\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781981138692\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/17\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 118\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.28d","brand":"Kenneth Grahame","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48800744079615,"sku":"9781981138692","price":7.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-golden-age-kenneth-grahame-9781981138692","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
