Contains: The Golden Age: The question of lions came up, but Charlotte wanted none of it. "No, thank you," she said, firmly; "you'll be chained up till I'm quite close to you, and then you'll be loose, and you'll tear me in pieces. I know your lions!" "No, I won' - I swear I won't," protested Edward. "I'll be quite a new lion this time, something you can't even imagine..." Likened to The Wind in the Willows with real children in place of Kenneth Grahame's storybook animals - children of the late Victorian era who see the world in ways that would confound the adults around them. Dream Days: Eight delightful chapters or stories for the young and young-at-heart, brimming with adventure and pleasure. Includes: The Twenty-first Of October; Dies Irae; Mutabile Semper; The Magic Ring; Its Walls Were as of Jasper; A Saga of the Seas; The Reluctant Dragon; A Departure. And Grahame's ultimate fantasy, The Wind in the Willows. Since 1903, the escapades of Mole, his friend the adventuresome Ratty, the antisocial and shy Badger, and the pompous Toad of Toad Hall have delighted young and old. There are adventures on the river, becoming lost in the Wild Wood, a trip in Toad's colourful gypsy caravan, a battle to regain Toad Hall from the clutches of marauding weasel - and a never-to-be forgotten encounter with the Piper at the Gates of Dawn.
