Books with title The Golden Door

Five hundred years ago, primitive humans crossed the then frozen southern ocean for their first encounter with the old races in this new land. Elves, dwarves, giants, and trolls joined together to drive out the invaders. A savage war was fought to a standstill, and an uneasy peace has endured ever since, but trouble is brewing. In the vast goblin swamps to the south, a powerful banished wizard has secretly amassed a great army. The other races must ally if they want to stop this menace. Thrust into the middle of this conflict are a young forest troll, a human wizard-warrior, a female green elf warrior, and a gray elf prince. And as opposing forces maneuver for domination, only these four hold the key to the fate of all, victory or defeat, liberty or enslavement.

A joy to read and reread, Kenneth Grahame's story of children is not a book designed purely for young readers. Thoughtful short stories about five endearing and creative siblings growing up in late Victorian England, the charming vignettes gently probe differences between children's and adults' perceptions of the world. These youngsters are particularly confounded by the actions of adults they perceive as stiff and colorless, with no vital interests or pursuits, and who lead apparently aimless lives. Young Harold, in sharp contrast, loves to play muffin-man, shaking a noiseless bell while selling invisible confections to imaginary customers. Brother Edward likes to crouch in a ditch where he becomes a grizzly bear and springs out in front of his shrieking brothers and sisters. Grahame's enchanting reminiscences and inventions, based in part on his own Victorian childhood, are enhanced by the delightful illustrations of renowned American artist Maxfield Parrish. The book is a joyful work that parents will delight in reading along with their children.
