Sobre este artículo
"The Golden Age" by Kenneth Grahame with wonderful illustrations throughout by MAXFIELD PARRISH. 1900; John Lane: The Bodley Head; London. The book features an illustrated title page, 18 full-page plates, and vignettes at the end of the chapters by Parrish. Gilt top page edges. There is a 2-page catalog at the back of the book.
Condition:
Clean covers and spine; sharp corners; bright gilt on the front cover, a bit faded on the spine. Tight binding with no cracks. Nice interior - the pages are mostly clean with only a few random, light smudges found; the outer margin of pages 6 & 7 each have a tiny stain spot; name written in pencil on the front end paper. The page 67 plate is attached, but the bottom half has pulled from the spine. Bright gilt top page edges. Overall the book is in great condition.

Sinopsis
Looking back to those days of old, ere the gate shut behind me, I can see now that to children with a proper equipment of parents these things would have worn a different aspect. But to those whose nearest were aunts and uncles, a special attitude of mind may be allowed. They treated us, indeed, with kindness enough as to the needs of the flesh, but after that with indifference (an indifference, as I recognise, the result of a certain stupidity), and therewith the commonplace conviction that your child is merely animal.
