Dream Days
Sequel to "The Golden Age."
Produced by Mike Lough and David Widger
"Dream Days" by Kenneth Grahame is a collection of children's stories written during the late 19th century. The book captures the whimsical and imaginative world of childhood, exploring themes such as adventure, loss, and the poignant moments of growing up through the eyes of young characters. Central figures include a group of children—Edward, Selina, Harold, and Charlotte—each with their unique interests and perspectives, embodying the vivid and often tumultuous experiences of youth. The opening of "Dream Days" introduces the reader to the child's perspective on education and friendships, illustrating the various interests that the children pursue outside formal school subjects. The narrative revolves around their playful debates over knowledge—Edward's fascination with military regalia contrasts with one child's keen understanding of nature and another's growing obsession with naval history. As the story unfolds, a darker turn is hinted when Selina and Harold engage in a reflective moment regarding significant events like Trafalgar Day, blending innocence with the weight of history. This setup establishes an intriguing exploration of how children navigate the boundaries of their imaginations and reality, which is further developed in subsequent stories.
