Book Synopsis

From one of the 20th century's most beloved storytellers, a moving evocation of the wonder found on the cusp of adolescence and a powerful depiction of small town American life

"[Dandelion Wine] is Bradbury's masterpiece, his fullest, most deeply felt and lyrical expression, touching on his usual themes of youth, old age and small-town life but stripped of their usual layer of sci-fi remove."--Electric Literature

"[Ray] Bradbury is an authentic original."--Time

The summer of 1928 was a vintage season for a growing boy. A summer of green apple trees, mowed lawns, and new sneakers. Of half-burnt firecrackers, of gathering dandelions, of Grandma's belly-busting dinner. It was a summer of sorrows and marvels and gold-fuzzed bees. A magical, timeless summer in the life of a twelve-year-old boy named Douglas Spaulding--remembered forever in moving, interconnected vignettes, by the incomparable Ray Bradbury.
