The Golden Age edition by Kenneth Grahame Reference eBooks
These are stories of childhood lived in a time very different from ours. These children invented their own games and were left alone to explore their country environment. Although they had a nanny, much of their time was spent without adult supervision, and so their imaginations ran free. I doubt that modern children, relying for their entertainment on games and media created through the efforts of someone else's imagination, are as clever or as independent as the children in this book.Product details

The Golden Age edition by Kenneth Grahame Reference eBooks Reviews
An old classic not so well known as the wind in the willows, I enjoyed reading this book and can recomend it
Filled with universal truths of childhood, I related to how I felt as a child, though the landscape and time period are different from my own. This book shares funny little stories from a group of five siblings, and provides insight into an older time period in Britain. I loved it!
I loved 'Wind in the Willows' but I couldn't love this.
I love Grahame's works. This book and "Dream Days" are stories told by a boy growing up and playing in the English countryside with his brother and sisters. It is all about those ideal childhood days we either remember or wish we remembered.
A sometimes bittersweet foray through memories of innocent childhood in a more simple time. I only wish all children could continue to enjoy such innocence and fun.
Even though it did get a tad bit rambling at times, I really liked it. Be prepared to become tired of it at times, but don't skip one word.
This book is a collection of whimsical vignettes (which I read somewhere are based on the author's own childhood in rural England) describing the lazy afternoon activities of a young boy and his siblings. The author has a poetic descriptive prose that is easy to read and evokes the atmosphere of his settings beautifully. If you are an aspiring writer and you want to know how to write from a child's perspective, then this is a must read. I found these short pieces to be charming, sometimes humorous, sometimes meaningful, and they completely capture the essence of the golden summer afternoons of childhood. From a modern perspective, the time period of these stories is also perfectly placed as it is "vintage" enough to add charm without requiring us to wade through the sort of antique language that gave us all fits in school literature classes.
These are stories of childhood lived in a time very different from ours. These children invented their own games and were left alone to explore their country environment. Although they had a nanny, much of their time was spent without adult supervision, and so their imaginations ran free. I doubt that modern children, relying for their entertainment on games and media created through the efforts of someone else's imagination, are as clever or as independent as the children in this book.
