Dream Days

Kenneth Grahame, Catharine Eastman

Dream Days is a collection of children's fiction and reminiscences of childhood written by Kenneth Grahame. A sequel to Grahame's 1895 collection The Golden Age (some of its selections feature the same family of five children), Dream Days was first published in 1898 under the imprint John Lane: The Bodley Head. (The first six selections in the book had been previously published in periodicals of the day - in the Yellow Book, the New Review, and in Scribner's Magazine in the United States.) The book is best known for its inclusion of Grahame's classic story The Reluctant Dragon. Kenneth Grahame (1859-1932) is a Scottish writer. His major works include "The Wind in the Willows" (1908) and the short story "The Reluctant Dragon" from his collection of childhood stories and reminiscences "Dream Days" (1898). Both "The Wind in the Willows" and "The Reluctant Dragon" have been adapted many times, most notably by Disney in "The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad" and "The Reluctant Dragon".
