The Parrish-illustrated edition of Dream Days was issued in London and New York by The Bodley Head in 1902 it contained ten full-page illustrations (one for each of the eight selections plus frontispiece and title page) and six tailpieces. Instead Lane chose a new photogravure reproduction process that produced black-and-white results superior to the halftone images in the 1899 edition of The Golden Age. Lane's first intention was to print colour plates but he was not satisfied with the colour reproductions of Parrish's pictures. In one modern estimation, both books 'paint a convincingly unsentimental picture of childhood, with the adults in these sketches totally out of touch with the real concerns of the young people around them, including their griefs and rages.' Īs with The Golden Age, the first edition of Dream Days was un-illustrated again like the prior volume, a subsequent edition of Dream Days was published with illustrations by Maxfield Parrish, also from John Lane. In the decades since, the book has perhaps suffered a reputation as a thinner and weaker sequel to The Golden Age-except for its single hit story. Like its precursor volume, Dream Days received strong approval from the literary critics of the day. The book is best known for its inclusion of Grahame's classic story ' The Reluctant Dragon'. The first six selections in the book had been previously published in periodicals of the day – in The Yellow Book and the New Review in Britain and in Scribner's Magazine in the U.S. A sequel to the 1895 collection The Golden Age (some of its selections feature the same family of five children), Dream Days was first published in 1898 under the imprint John Lane: The Bodley Head.
