4.0 out of 5 stars The Golden Age, 30 Aug 2003
This review is from: The Golden Age (Art of Maxfield Parrish Series) (Hardcover)
A man recounts his childhood, a world dominated by Olympians, his aunts and uncles. Through this, he, his elder brother Edward, elder sister Selina and two younger siblings Harold and Charlotte have a golden summer. From accidentally making their tutor believe that he has witnessed a murder, to Harold recounting part of the Pirates of the Penzance to the curate and their aunt as the reason he is out of bed, it is a classic story. I loved it, it truly evokes the magic of childhood, and the otherworldly air of adulthood. The characters are totally believable, their almost cynical take on life is totally compelling. Although full of minor tragedies such as Edward being crossed in love, then soon after being posted off to boarding school, the way that this was their Golden Age comes over very easily. It deserves to be just as much a classic as the Wind in the Willows. Bullseye for Kenneth Grahame again.
