The article focuses on British writer Kenneth Grahame. He wrote famous books like "The Golden Age," and "Dream Days." They were any and all children. One might add that the books are not really for children to read, but for adults who remember-or perhaps who have forgotten their childhood. Written nearly forty years ago, the books describe another world, a world of tidy relationships, of expected events, of adults who moved serenely through their little sphere of visiting and teas and discipline for the young and life in the country. In the last story of "Dream Days" he tells how Charlotte, the youngest of the five, having inherited in due course the toys that all of them had used, finds herself deprived of them by one of the strange fiats of the grown-ups.
