Grahame’s writing career began with essays and short fiction that captured an idealized English childhood. “The Golden Age” and “Dream Days” were popular in their time and established Grahame as a literary voice before his most famous work appeared.
“The Reluctant Dragon,” a story about a boy who befriends a poetry-loving dragon, has endured as a children’s favorite in its own right. These works share with “The Wind in the Willows” a gentle humor and a fondness for the English countryside.
