The publication of this new edition of "The Golden Age," the favourite amongst Mr. Kenneth Grahame's favoured books, with the illustrations by Mr. Maxfield Parrish reproduced in photogravure, was accomplished through the kindness of the various owners, who gave access to the originals in their respective collections. The publisher begs gratefully to acknowledge this courtesy, with special thanks also to Mr. Frederick Keppel and Mr. Fitzroy Carrington for their kind co-operation.
