1895. It was the great poet Swinburne who wrote of The Golden Age as one of the few books which are well-nigh too praiseworthy for praise. The art of writing adequately and receptively about children is among the rarest and most precious of all arts. In its pages, alive with memories of the author's boyhood, a troupe of clever and imaginative youngsters carry out their pranks and adventures, evoking youth for every reader. Another delightful volume from the author of The Wind in the Willows and Dream Days. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.
