Pagan Papers
Kenneth Grahame
Book Overview:
We join our thoughtful author on a dreamy stroll at dusk through the English countryside, and listen to his nonchalant, slightly scattered musings on the human condition...everything from loafing about and old book collecting, to heavier topics like what is more valuable: memory or forgetfulness and can we connect back to nature, or is it too late to do so. All these ponderings, and more, are explored within. Published in 1898, this collection of essays is Kenneth Grahame's first complied work. His wry and witty humor, which later would be celebrated in his famous novel, The Wind in the Willows, shines through here.

Such gorgeous prose! I'd say the rating for me is closer to 3.5* content-wise, but oh god, the writing itself!
Grahame is a poet masquerading as a prosist.
The only thing I've read of Grahame's is The Wind in the Willows, which I love, so I was interested to read other of his works. This was a short book of little essays on various subjects, some down-to-earth like smoking, others fantastical like The Fairy Wicket & The Last Centaur, with many classica
An enjoyable read! Some essays were simply wonderful and delightful! All of them are creative and curious, overflowing with symbolism and a unique point of view. However, I tended to enjoy the initial essays from his stint writing for the "National Observer" to the latter essays that were included.
More Grahame stories of Pan...yes please!
I stumbled onto this book, and thought, "I never read essays like this." So, I gave it a shot. Grahame is a great writer, and that's on display here. The book itself deals with subject matter that now seems a bit dated, but its still an engaging read. However, I would really only recommend this book
