Sobre este artículo
Nicely illustrated antique copy of "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; the gilt lettering on the spine has partially faded; sharp corners. There is a small, dark stain spot at the top-right corner of the spine. Tight binding with no cracks. Nice interior - the pages are mostly clean with only some foxing to some of the illustrated plates; small tear at the outer edge of page 5. The illustrated plate after page 76 is present but has detached. The front end paper has a name written in pencil, and an old inscription written in pen. Overall the book is in Very Good 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.
