    The correct answer is "Pagan Papers" because the question states that some stories were collected and published, and "Pagan Papers" is the only option that fits this description. "Golden Age" is a term used to describe a period of prosperity and cultural achievement, not a collection of stories. "Toad of Toad Hall" is a play based on the characters from "The Wind in the Willows" and not a collection of stories. "Dream Days" is a collection of stories by the same author, but it is not mentioned in the question that these particular stories were published under that title. Therefore, "Pagan Papers" is the most fitting option.
