Typical of his culture and his era, Grahame casts his reminiscences in imagery and metaphor rooted in the culture of Ancient Greece; to the children whose impressions are recorded in the book, the adults in their lives are Olympians, while the chapter titled The Argonauts refers to Perseus, Apollo, Psyche, and similar figures of Greek mythology. Grahame's reminiscences were notable for their conception of a world where children are locked in perpetual warfare with the adult 'Olympians' who have wholly forgotten how it feels to be young - a theme later explored by J.M. Barrie and other authors.
