This 1895 collection makes use of imagery from Greek mythology to paint the adult world as one of aloof Olympians out of touch with the inner, imaginative lives of their own children. Each story deals with the struggle between children and adults. Contents include ‘A White-Washed Uncle, ‘ ‘The Finding of the Princess, ‘ ‘The Argonauts, ‘ and ‘The Secret Drawer.’

A propos de l’auteur
Kenneth Grahame (1859-1932) was a Scottish writer of fantasies for children and adults. He also worked a daytime job as a banker until retiring in 1908, the same year he published his most famous work, The Wind in the Willows—in which Mr. Toad is modeled after Grahame’s son, whose tragic death at twenty darkened the author’s later years.
