The Golden Age

by Kenneth Grahame Narrated by Simon Vance

Overview

The Golden Age is a collection of Kenneth Grahame's reminiscences of childhood, 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 J. M. Barrie and other authors.

Editorial Reviews

Bookman

There is no book about children like "The Golden Age," unless it is "Dream Days.

Daily Chronicle (London)

One of the few books which are well-nigh too praiseworthy for praise.”

AudioFile

This audiobook is a lesser-known collection of childhood reminiscences by the author of The Wind in the Willows…The work has a nostalgic tone and often makes references to Greek myths. Vance delivers a commanding performance. While the stories are intended for children, they do not come across as having been written solely for children. Vance’s narration style places them in the context of more popular British stories like those of Lewis and Tolkein.”
