About this product

Product Information

An endearing classic of childhood memories of an idyllic midwestern summer from the celebrated author of 'Farenheit 451'. He stood at the open window in the dark, took a deep breath and exhaled. The street lights, like candles on a black cake, went out. He exhaled again and again and the stars began to vanish. Douglas smiled. He pointed a finger. There, and there. Now over here, and here... Yellow squares were cut in the dim morning earth as house lights winked slowly on. A sprinkle of windows came suddenly alight miles off in dawn country. 'Everyone yawn. Everyone up.' In the backwaters of Illinois, Douglas Spaulding's grandfather makes an intoxicating brew from harvested dandelions. 'Dandelion Wine' is a quirky, breathtaking coming-of-age story from one of science fiction's greatest writers. Distilling his experiences into Rites & Ceremonies and Discoveries & Revelations , the young Spaulding wistfully ponders over magical tennis shoes, and machines for every purpose from time travel to happiness and silent travel. Based upon Bradbury's own experiences growing up in Waukegan in the 1920s, 'Dandelion Wine' is a heady mixture of fond memory, forgiveness, magic, the imagination and above all, of summers that seemed to go on forever.

This is a beautiful book for these times.
At a time like this in the world, where we're all beset with the misery of Covid-19 and cannot trust the poltical leaders of the UK and the US, well here's a gentle book, full of wonderful, tender little sketches of a young boy growing up one summer in America. Make no mistake, there are one or two scary parts among the beautiful written stories, but for the main you have an opening of the eyes of a 12 year-old-boy to the beauty of the world and of life. Ah, I wish I were you, and had yet to discover the wonder within Ray Bradbury's Dandelion Wine for the first time.
